hide several gridview colums at once

Question

HI Ive got ( 10 ) gridview colums i want to hide. Now i do it like this: customersDataGridView.Columns[ CustomerNumber ].Visible = false ; customersDataGridView.Columns[ FirstName ].Visible = false ; customersDataGridView.Columns[lastName].Visible = false ; But is there a faster way i could do this with less code ?

A little different approach for (int x=0; x { switch (gridview.columns[x].HeaderText.ToLower ()) { case firstname: case lastname: gridview.Columns [x].Visible =false; } }

Try like like that: ((DataControlField)gridView.Columns .Cast () .Where(fld => (fld.HeaderText == CustomerNumber ) || (fld.HeaderText == FirstName ) || (fld.HeaderText == LastName ))).Visible = false ;
