Hide Columns in Grid

[Andrew]

I want to hide a couple of columns in a grid. At the moment the grid is set to autogenerate columns. Can I hide the columns somehow and also resize the columns.

Thanks

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

The easiest way would be to use the ColumnCreated event:

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
{
  if(e.Column.UniqueName == "MyColumnName")
  {
      ...
  }
}

I would recommend that you examine the following help topic:
Using Columns

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks that link would be helpful

Where would this code be put:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(sender As Object, _
     e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCreatedEventArgs) _
     Handles RadGrid1.ColumnCreated
  If e.Column.UniqueName = "BirthDate" Then
    Dim boundColumn As GridBoundColumn = CType(e.Column, GridBoundColumn)
    boundColumn.ReadOnly = True
    boundColumn.DataFormatString = "{0:d}"
    End If
End Sub 'RadGrid1_ColumnCreated

Does this go on the page_load. I am using vb and code behind

Hello Andrew,

ColumnCreated is an event and as such it should not be placed in another event.

Public Partial Class Default3VB
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(ByVal sender As Object, _
     ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCreatedEventArgs) _
     Handles RadGrid1.ColumnCreated
        If e.Column.UniqueName = "BirthDate" Then
            Dim boundColumn As GridBoundColumn = CType(e.Column, GridBoundColumn)
            boundColumn.ReadOnly = True
            boundColumn.DataFormatString = "{0:d}"
        End If
    End Sub 'RadGrid1_ColumnCreated
    ...
