How to hide a column in datagrid?

[ashtek]

Hi,

I am using a datagrid with databound columns. I want to set the width
of one of the columns to zero.
I use the following code in the design time.

<ASP:BOUNDCOLUMN DATAFIELD="FieldName" HEADERSTYLE-WIDTH="0"
ITEMSTYLE-WIDTH="0">
</ASP:BOUNDCOLUMN>

But the column still appears when the page loads showing me the data.

I do not want to use VISIBLE="False" because I want this column to be
generated in the client side so that I can access it using JavaScript.

Anyone has any clue?

Thanks in advance,
Ashish.

This one works!!!!
Thank you Eliyahu
I am still wondering why does the code HEADERSTYLE-WIDTH="0"
ITEMSTYLE-WIDTH="0" does not work?
Thank you,
Ashish.

Ashish,

Use a css rule display:none.

Ashish,

Browsers have their own logic of setting column width. Your instructions are
actually only recommendations.

hi
You dont have to set the column width to 0. Just uncheck the Visible
checkBox for the Column in the Columns Option of the Property Builder

Thanks
