DataGridView columns

[Paul Cheetham]

Hi,

I have a DataGridView control, and I am using it's datasource property
to assign a datatable to it at runtime.
The datatable has some columns in it that I don't want to be visible.

With the DataGrid control in .Net 1, each Column had a property that
allowed it to be bound to a column in a datatable, so I could define the
columns of the grid, and which columns they related to in its
datasource, and they were all that would display.

Is there an equivalent in the DataGridView, or another way to achieve this?


Thanks.

You can either set their Visible properties to false, or remove them from
the DataGridView Columns Collection.

So I can only do it after I have bound a datasource to the Dategridview?
Which presumably means that every time I re-load the data, I have to
remove the columns I don't want.

It seems a much less elegant way of doing it than the method the
Datagrid used.

You only have to do it the first time you create the DataGridView. After
that, you can update it, add and remove rows, etc, without modification.
