Help with DataGrid

[dotnetbuddy]

Hi,
Iam using VS 2003 for development. In ItemDataBound event of a
datagrid I want to know whether a particular column is being displayed
or not. Depending on certain criteria Iam hiding columns in Page_Load
like
grdMyGridColumns[4].Visible =false;
grdMyGridColumns[6].Visible =false;

Then during runtime Iam doing some bussiness logic in ItemDataBound,
I need to know whether a particular column is visible or not.
I tried the following but of no use:
e.Item.Cells[4].Visible, because it is returning true
irrespective of whether the column is being displayed or not.

Thanking you in advance.

just curious

if you're checking for column visibility, why not just use

if ( myGrid.Columns[4].Visible )
