Is it possible to customize an ASP.NET (C#) report to hide one or two columns at runtime depending on the presence of a column in the datasource, or any other way? Ideally we would pass in a DataTable to the report without certain columns, or use a flag to determine whether or not to show the column.

Hi Ed,
You can use the NeedDataSource event handler and in it to define the columns and column groups programmatically. For more information please check the Programmatic Control of Reports help article. Additionally you can check this forum post, which has a snippet for creating those groups and columns with code. Also please have in mind that as a best practice it will be good for you to create some tables and Crosstabs with the designer and check out the designer.cs file of the report. Once you are comfortable with those objects you will be ready to programmatically control and tweak them.
