Make some columns invisible in DataGrid dynamically

[Guest]

I have datasource, say, ds which is bounded to a datagrid, dg.
Assume that ds have 5 columns, c0,c1,c2,c3,c4.
In some case, say, case 1, I want to display columns c0, c1,c2 in dg and use
c3 and c4 in code behind.
In case 2, I want to display column c0, c3, and c4, and use c1 and c2 in
code behind.

Anyone can tell how to do it?

Thanks

David

You should be able to access each column's visible property like so:

dgDataGrid.Columns(3).visible = false

David,

Use the datagrid's OnItemDatabound event.

I have some code on my website for adding a checkbox to a datagrid
dynamically that would be a way for you to become familiar with the
OnItemDatabound event. If you'd like to take a look at it you may find it by
using the search box on this page:

Datagrid"

Thank you, David Lozzi and Justin Gengo:
I will try it.
I would be interested in OnItemDatabound event as well, since I did someting
in part which is related to this topic.

Hi, David Lozzi:

dgDataGrid.Columns(3).visible = false

is only working for the selected columns in DataGrid Property Builder in
design.

I have tried dgDataGrid.Itemss(3).visible = false. But it does not work.
