I can't make it dissapear.
The only difference that I have from your code is that I have AutoGenerateColumns="False"

Here's my tag :

<

 

telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowFilteringByColumn="True"

 

 

AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource5"

 

 

GridLines="None" PageSize="30" ShowGroupPanel="True" Skin="Telerik" ShowStatusBar="True"

 

 

Width="100%" AllowAutomaticDeletes="True" AllowAutomaticInserts="True"

 

 

AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" OnPreRender="RadGrid2_PreRender"

 

 

EnableLinqExpressions="False" AutoGenerateEditColumn="True"

 

 

onitemcommand="RadGrid2_ItemCommand">

Hello Stavros,

A suggestion would be to use a FormTemplate EditForm which mimics the AutoGeneratedEditForm excluding the column you woukld require to hide.

Thanks

I know of the alternatives.
I could also use EditMode="InPlace"
The question is if I can do it in edit form mode.

I have another problem too.
How can I add an insert button?
Thank you!

I solved the insert button problem using 

CommandItemDisplay

 

="TopAndBottom"

in the MastertableView tag.

Hi Stavros,

Try setting the ReadOnly property of this GridBoundColumn to true. I think this can help.

It worked!
The only thing I have not managed to do yet is to program properly the insert record form.
There is a building_id column that is identity field in the database so the user should not be able to insert a number in it because the database add a number automatically.
I also want to code the insert form so that it enters automatically the customer_id in the hidden column.

I get this id in the page code behind file with the following code :

 

string UserID; //globally declare the UserId
    protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MembershipUser myObject = Membership.GetUser();
        UserID = myObject.ProviderUserKey.ToString();
    }

Hello Stavros,

I modified the previous example to illustrate the needed functionality.

Some notes:
CategoryID is auto-generated by the database (read-only)
CategoryName is modified in code-behind (read-only)
Description is editable by the user

Hope this helps.
