Hiding and Showing Columns in Editable GridView

[Guest]

I have a gridview that is being used for managing inventory. The default
view shows the stock currently available. When editing I don't want the
stock to be directly edited, rather the user will enter the amount of items
being added/removed.

When the user clicks the 'Edit' link I want to hide the stock column and
display a field for the TransactionAmt. I'm using the RowUpdating event to
execute some functions used by that field. I've added the column and am
showing/hiding using the visible property, which works fine for that, but
when I hide the stock column I can no longer access the value that was in
that field.

Any suggestions?

In yoru gridview, editTemplate, simply just make the textbox disabled,
then you shall be able to get teh value later on.

Hope that helps.

Any web control with Visible=false doesn't get rendered to the client and,
naturally, doesn't come back in postbacks. If you are interested in the
hidden value either on client side or in postbacks, hide with a css rule
display:none.
