Pass value of hidden fields in Gridview to SQL parameter

[Hennie]

How can I pass the value of a hidden field to the Parameter?

Thanks

I have a field (column) in a gridview with visible set as false.
I need the value of the field to be passed to a parameter in a stored
procedure to update the database.

When a field is hidden (visible=false) the value of the field is no longer
accesable. Is there a work around?

Columns with Visible=false don't render to the client and, naturally, don't
come back to server with postbacks. A work around is to hide the column with
css rule display:none while keeping Visible=true.

You could also set the gridview attribute
datakeynames=[id,myhiddenfieldid]

and that will let you store in viewstate the value.
