How to programmatically choose which columns of a table to display?

[Neal Campbell]

I am converting an old program (c++ MFC/Rogue Wave) to C#/Telerik. The old program gives users the options of deciding which columns of a data table to display at run-time. For my audience, the Column Chooser mechanism is too complicated for them to you, plus they are already used to a set of checkbox specifications in the setup routine.

So how can I, during form load event, choose which columns to display while still enjoy the automatic CRUD actions performed by databinding?

Hi Neal Campbell,

In this case you should set the IsVisible property of GridViewColumn. Here is a sample:

this.radGridView1.Columns["Name"].IsVisible = false;

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please write back.

All the best,

Thanks so much, I was looking at the gridview instead of the gridcolumnview attributes!
