Duplicate Columns

[Satish Kumar]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid which is initialzed to a SqlDataSource and itz working fine. Now, I want to make one of the data field from the sql source as a HyperText.

I am doing following in Code Behind.

GridHyperLinkColumn hyperlinkcolumn = GridHyperLinkColumn();
hyperlinkcolumn.DataField = "<MyColumnName_FromSql>"
hyperlinkcolumn.DataNavigateUrlFields = "<MyColumnName_FromSql>"
hyperlinkcolumn.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "URL String"

MyGrid.Columns.Add(hyperlinkcolumn);

Whne I do this, I am seeing two columns. One original column from the sql data source and one hyperlink column i added.

I tried additing to MasterTableView as well. But still two columns are coming.

I expect only hypertext column to present and original column to not present.

How to achieve this??

THanks

Hi Satish,

Most probably, you are using AutoGenerateColumns and the manually created column is duplicated with the automatically generated one. To prevent that, you can access the automatically created column and hide it disabling its Visible property during the ColumnCreated event handler:

Hope this helps.
