How do I create an invisible column in the DataGrid

[Harry Keck]

This seems like it should be really easy, but I can not
figure out how to do this. I am binding a DataGrid to a
DataTable. However, I do not want to display all of the
columns from the Datatable in the Grid. Without removing
the unwanted columns from the datatable, how do I make
certain columns hidden? Thanks.

You cannot - period. It's another one of these cases where I think the
designers didn't really think things through to the end - if you don't
want to display a column, you have to actually remove the column from
the collection of columns for the grid (which makes it really painful
if you try to easily show / hide certain columns.....)
