Conditional column show/hide

[Stéphan Parrot]

Hi, I'm trying to achieve something like this:

Show a grid with dynamic columns based on the values of objects displayed in the grid.
For instance, my object has 4 properties: Prop1 to Prop 4.
I have a textbox to search into my objects for specific types of objects. Let's say I have 3 types of objects which will have some of  the "PropX" properties set to NULL as follow:

Type 1 object

Prop1 has values
Prop2 has values
Prop3 Is always null
Prop4 Is always null

Type 2 object
Prop1 Is always null
Prop2 Is always null
Prop3 has values
Prop4 has values

Type 3 object
Prop1 Is always null
Prop2  has values
Prop3 has values
Prop4 Is always null

What I want to achieve is when I output my grid, only the columns bound on properties that has values will be visible.
Is it possible?

Thanks!

Again, nevermind...
I answered my own question just by re-reading my post...
If the collection of object that is returned is always of the same type, which is the case, I can simply select the first object in the collection and check if there's a value  and if so, bind it as follow:

.Columns(columns =>
{
            if (Model!= null && Model.Any() && Model.First().Prop1 != null)
                columns.Bound(o => o.Prop1 ;
})

Maybe it'll help some other people out there! :)

Later!
