select column by Uniquename

[Trinh Nguyen]

Hi,

I'm working on the newest version of Telerik Gridview, I would like to get access to the whole column of the Tableview by Uniquename and make the whole column invisible. Can you provide me a full example how to do it? Thanks in advance

Hello Trinh,

You could access teh column by using the GetColumn() method as shown below and set the Visible property to false.

aspx:

<Columns>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" UniqueName="EmployeeID">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Firstname" HeaderText="Firstname" UniqueName="Firstname">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn DataField="isapproved" HeaderText="isapproved" UniqueName="CheckBoxColumn"

DataType="System.Boolean">

</telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn>

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn UniqueName="DropDownListColumn" ListTextField="Country"

ListValueField="Country" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" HeaderText="Country" DataField="Country"

DropDownControlType="RadComboBox">

</telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

<telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" UniqueName="LinkButton1" Text="Edit"

CommandName="Edit">

</telerik:GridButtonColumn>             . . .

</Columns>

cs:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("EmployeeID").Visible = false;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("Firstname").Visible = false;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("CheckBoxColumn").Visible = false;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("DropDownListColumn").Visible = false;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("LinkButton1").Visible = false;

}
