I am using the demo version 2008 q2 and I am having trouble with the grid autogenerating columns.  I set the datasource of the grid view to a datatable that contains many fields.  I only want 3 fields to be displayed in the grid.  I know I can create a column for every field and then make the fields I do not want displayed to false, but the older version you could set the grid to only display the fields you selected.  How is this done in the new version?

Hello Eric,

Thank you for the question.

However, I am not quite sure about the approach that you want to use. Therefore, I will suggest two approaches:
  1. Set this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false. Then, create columns for the fields that you want to see.
  2. Set this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = true. Then, from the Property Builder (if the DataSource is set at design-time), or throught the API, set the IsVisible property of the redundant column to false.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,
