Hide Columns when Using NeedDataSource

[Nate]

Hi, I am trying to hide columns when using NeedDataSource.  Right now I am hiding them in the column created event, as I have a database table of columns that are visible/invisible.  When I use a control that changes the column visibility and postback the grid using rebind() it is not hiding the columns, even though my code is doing the right thing.
I am pulling my hair out on this.  Is there a better solution rather than using the column created event?

Thanks!

Hello,


Have you tried to hide the columns in PreRender event of RadGrid?

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridColumn column in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns)
    {
        if (column.UniqueName == "ID")
        {
            column.Visible = false;
        }
    }
    RadGrid1.Rebind();
}

I tried your method as well.  However, since I'm using different datasources for the grid, the columns weren't populated at that point.
I ended up having to turn autogeneratecolumns = false, and then programmatically adding the columns to the grid.
Thanks for your help!
