URGENT question about binding collection to a datagrid onitemdatabound

[ITnerd]

The following code works to hide specific columns before they are bound to a
datagrid that has "autogeneratecolumns=true"
enabled. My question is: is there any way to do the same from a bindable
user defined collection? I have a "message" class that I don't want to have
to
munge into a DataTable to get the desired effect.

public void Item_Bound(Object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{

DataTable dt = MyDataGrid.DataSource as DataTable;
DataColumnCollection dc = dt.Columns;
e.Item.Cells[dc.IndexOf(dc["MessageText"])].Visible = false;

}

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I think that you can use this code, for any datasource, to hide your column:

public void Item_Bound(Object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
foreach(TableCell cell in e.Item.Cells)
{
if(cell.Text == "MessageText") cell.Visible = false;
}
}
