[Solved] Do you need a GridBoundColumn column in order to have the value on the DataKeyNames?

[Alejandro]

imagine i have

DataKeyNames="CollectionId, ClaimTypeId"

Do i need a

 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="claimtypeid" UniqueName="claimtypeid" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
                                        HeaderText="claimtypeid" Visible="false">
                                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

??
notice the visible = false

Hi Alejandro,

If you want to set a column as DataKeyValue,please set it as DataKeyNames="DataFieldNames".Its not necessary to set it as a bound column to access it.Please find the below code snippet.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="OrderID">

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
       {
           GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
           var value = item.GetDataKeyValue("OrderID");//Access the datakeyname values  ,without setting in bound column
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy
