Visible vs Display on Grid Column Definition

[Matthew]

Hello; I have two questions.

What is the difference between the Visible property and the Display property on a RadGrid's Column definition?

For example:

<rad:RadGrid ID="gdCompanies" runat="server">
  <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="false" EditMode="EditForms">
    <Columns>
    <rad:GridBoundColumn DataField="CompanyId" UniqueName="CompanyId"
      Visible="false"
      Display="false"/>
    </Columns>
  </MasterTableView>
</rad:RadGrid>

Also, is there a way to disable a field (specifically a GridBoundColumn) from being displayed in edit mode? I have tried visible=false and display=false, but the field is still displayed in edit mode (EditForms flavor).

Thanks,

Matthew

The visible property is used through server-side to determine whether or not an item should be rendered to the page, while display simply changes the CSS style to 'display:none';. Basically if you are just trying to dynamically show/hide columns the Display property is the way to go.

As for disabling a column in the edit-form, try setting the column's ReadOnly property to true (false by default).
