Automatic Column UniqueName rename

[Franz]

Hi,

Recently I upgraded to Version 2015.1.401.45.  After this upgrade, a column with name 'IsNew'  that should be hidden. was displayed, although in the version before it is not displayed.

When debugging, I found out, that this column is renamed automatically to IsNew1. There is no other column with the same name in my datasource.

So I suppose, that with the new version IsNew is recognized to be a keyword??

 This is the method for hiding columns:

private void HideColumns()

        {

 

            //set the visibility of columns defined in HiddenColumns to false

            if (CGGrid.MasterTableView.Items.Count >= 0)

            {

 

                foreach (var item in HiddenColumns.Where(item => !String.IsNullOrEmpty(item)))

                {

                    try

                    {

                        var column = CGGrid.MasterTableView.GetColumn(item);

                        if (column != null) column.Visible = false;

                    }

                    catch (Exception e)

                    {

                        LOGGER.Error(e);

                    }

                }

            }

        }

Hello Franz,

I used the provided code and I prepared a small runnable sample based on it. Nevertheless on my side the column is hiding properly and the UniqueName remains unchanged. Could you please check out the attached sample and let me now how it differs from your real setup?

Hello Franz,

I am running into an issue where one of my auto-generated column's UniqueName is getting a 1 appended onto it, the column is not hidden. Did you find a solution to this issue?

Thank You,

Jason

Hello Jason,

Could you please send your code declaration and the related code behind in order to investigate the cause for this issue further. Generally when using auto-generated columns the UniqueNames will be the same as the names of you database fields.

Hello Kostadin,

Thank you for your response. I did not see the email notifying me of it, so I apologize for the delay. I resolved the issue by defining the data structure of my grid columns in the Page_Init instead of the Page_Load. I found this in ​another of the telerik forum threads. 

 Thank You,
