Need to hide column in nested grid

[Brian]

I have a radgrid, which has a nested template view with another grid in the nested view.  I have a column that contains a hyperlink, which i only want displayed if the user is in a particular role.  I have the role part down, but my problem is I cannot access the grid through the vb.net code behind window.

I try me.gridSchedule, but it is not in the list.

How can I hide this column programmatically?

Thanks...Brian

Hello,

Please try with below code.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
            <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ID" HierarchyLoadMode="Client">
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" UniqueName="ID">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" UniqueName="Name">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                </Columns>
                <NestedViewTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid2_NeedDataSource"
                     OnPreRender="RadGrid2_PreRender">

          dynamic data = new[] {

          RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("ID").Visible = false;
      }
