[Solved] RadGrid delete column

                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Status" UniqueName="StatusColumn" DataField="Status" SortExpression="Status"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                </Columns>
                <NoRecordsTemplate>
                    <div>
                        No records to display.
                    </div>
                </NoRecordsTemplate>
            </MasterTableView>

I am using a subclassed RadGrid control. The instance of which is defined as seen above.
However, the DeleteCommandColumn still appears with what looks to be a hyphen for the title. How can I remove this column?

Hello Dennis,

I can't recreate your scenario with the provided code snippet, but generally, you can hide columns by setting Visible="false" -

+ declaratively;
+ programmatically in ColumnCreated;
+ programmatically in RadGrid_PreRender by using the MasterTableView's RenderColumns collection;

Thanks for the response Dimo. I appreciate it.

I ended up using the pre render event

protected void NotarySearchResultsGrid_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //forces delete command column to be hidden because it was still displaying even though properties were set to hide it
            NotarySearchResultsGrid.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("DeleteCommandColumn").Visible = false;
        }

Works well.
