Tanx for the help guyz,i have one more question.Why can't i get the value of a hidden cell? i trying to get the value of column "id"..

function RowSelected(sender, eventArgs)
{
var dataItem = $get(eventArgs.get_id());
var grid = sender;
MasterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();
var row = MasterTable.get_dataItems()[dataItem.rowIndex];
var cell = MasterTable.getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, "id");

Hello Ismail,

You need to use the Display property of the column to false instead of Visible = false. Thus the column will be rendered with display: none attribute, otherwise it will not be rendered in the browser at all.

If you want to keep your current setting, consider using client key values to retrieve the data from it:
