GridView hide datakey

I have my gridview bound to a objectdatasource control and the only thing I
need to hide on the grid is the primary key but I need the key in the dataset
that refers to it.

With a dynamic approach the column can be hidden at a certian point in the
rendering cycle. As I have learned today my grid never offically has a
column(0) and I would think anyone who ever uses the gridview would want to
hide the primary key!

Where/how/when can I hide this sucker..?
 
Sean,

Just delete the column and put the field name of your primary key (ie
CustomerID) in the GridView's DataKeyNames property. This can then be
referenced on postback. It also comes thru the GridView.SelectedValue
property when it has been selected.

HTH,
Chris
