Hi,

protected void rdgrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode && !e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
        //if the item is about to edit
       {
           GridEditFormItem insertItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

       }
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
       //if the item is about to insert
       {
           GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem=(GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
           // for example - hide dropdown
           DropDown dd1 = (DropDown)insertItem.FindControl("ddl");
           dd1.Visible = false;
       }
   }

Thanks,

That worked for me, I am also sharing my code snippet that demonstrates how can we do so on column-name basis

for : Edit mode OR Insert Mode

protected void BookPageAssignmentGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

 {

    if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode || e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))

    {

        GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

        item[_key].Parent.Visible = false;
        item[_counts].Parent.Visible = false;

    }

}

I wanted to hide that column on read mode too, so that I added follwoing to this event handler ;

protected void MailMergeSetup_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                try
                {
                    if (item["_key"] != null)
                        item["_key"].Visible = false;
                }
                catch { }
            }

and parallelly, I will also have to use GridHeaderItem in order to hide column header and also the extra row that we get b/w header adn data-rows where the filter sits can be hidden using  GridFilteringItem.
