I have been hiding columns in my radgid in lots of pages and accessing their data after postback.
Now this is no longer possible thanks to the breaking change introduced for the sake of performance.
How can such a drastic step be taken without giving a fallback mechanism?
I have a very huge web application consisting of more than 500 aspx pages.
Nearly 70 % of the pages use radgrid.
I find the solution to use display false as unacceptable, as it still generates hidden markup(read decreased "PERFORMANCE")
Also it will affect the javascript interacting with the grid to read cell values client side.
I urgently need a solution for this.Rolling back to previous version is not an option for me because i need the latest telerik updates for other parts of my project.
Waiting impatiently....

Hi Ravindra,
Yes, this is a breaking change introduced in Q1 2013. This modification was made for performance optimization of RadGrid. You could check this sticky thread for more information on the matter and possible work-around.
If you cannot use Display=”false” into your project you can add all columns names as MasterTableView.DataKeyNames and then extract values for them by using:
This approach is described into the mentioned sticky thread above.
Please excuse us if this behavior is inconvenient for you. If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us again.
