Really urgent : Programmatically deleting Datagrid rows

[John]

Hi all,

I searched everywhere today but to no avail - I need to programmatically
remove rows (DataGridItems) from a datagrid. Unfortunately,I can't have a
delete button/control of any kind but must do it in the ItemDataBound event.

Surely there must be a way to do this.

Any help regarding this would already be more than Google could offer.

Regards
John.

Well, the cheap answer is set grid.Items[0].Visible = false;

I'm not sure your question makes sense, sorry. You want to simply not
display items before they are rendered? Delete buttons would not make
sense in this context at all, so I am not sure why they are mentioned.
Are you asking how not to include certain rows in a datagrid given a
result set from a database?

Use e.Item.Visible = false;

To hide the row from being displayed you can use the DataGridItemEventArgs.Item.Visible property:
e.Item.Visible = false;

So, here's what the event handler might look like:

protected void grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e) {

if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) {

DataRowView dv = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
if (dv["foo"].ToString() == "bar") e.Item.Visible = false;
​

}
