getting the value of a hidden column in datagrid

[Ekempd]

I have a hidden column in my datagrid but I can't read the value of this column

Usually I use e.Item.Cells(7).Controls(1) to get the control but with the
hidden column I get the control but without value...

The source problem begin in I habe a datatable with 15 column and I only
want to display 14, the other is the primary key, when I want to do an Insert
I have to know this field but I don't know how.. then I try to adding as a
hidden column to my grid without success..

Any Sugestion?

thx

If you're trying to save the primary key, use the DataKey property of the
DataGrid. It will cause the key to be saved in the DataKeys array of the
DataGrid. Then you can index into that array by
DataKeys(gridItem.ItemIndex).
