GridView RowDataBound question

[Tina]

I'm accustomed to doing just about anything in the GridView RowDataBound
event but how do I completely eliminate the row from showing? I have a very
difficult filtering application to do.
Thanks,
T

Mark,
Sure that could work. so could using alternate SQL for each filter view. I
was asking if it can be done in the RowDataBound event. Do you know the
answer to my question?
thanks,

How about a different approach? If you're trying to prevent a row from
showing, how about removing it from the data which to which the GridView
is bound before the process gets as far as firing the RowDataBound event?

DataSet MyDS = <..........>;
MyDS.Tables[0].DefaultView.RowFilter = "MyColumn < 10";
MyGridView.DataSource = MyDS.Tables[0].DefaultView;
MyGridView.DataBind();

In RowDataBound, set e.Row.Visible = false;

Ben,
Wow. How simple.
Thanks,

In RowDataBound, set e.Row.Visible = false;

Sorry, you were helpful as that is one way to skin the cat. But see Ben's
post...
e.row.visible = false !!

I don't believe so: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=525867

Just trying to be helpful...

Mark,
I've been testing the dickens out of this (i'm not doing paging as I spin it
in a div) and it works. Assuming that paging is not used under what
conditions can it fail?
Thanks,
