Hiding gridview column for particular condition

Question

Hiding gridview column for particular condition

Hello everyone, I need your appreciated help.

Between the columns of my GridView I have this field:

<asp:BoundField DataField="DIST-V" DataFormatString="{0:#,##0.###}"
HeaderText="Dist (n.)" />

I need see it only when the condition is verified in the my query Sql Server 2005.

If the column DIST-V is selected in my query I need see the value of recordset DIST-V else I don't see the column DIST-V in my Gridview.

Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, but I have new error in your last code. protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { if (DataSet.Tables[0].Columns.Contains("DIST-V")) { GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = true; } else { GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false; } } } CS0120: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property ''System.Data.DataSet.Tables.get', the error seems to be coming from the following lines of code;

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { if (DataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Contains("DIST-V")) { GridView1.Columns[1].Visible = false; } } } Compiler Error Message: CS1955 : Non-invocable member ' System .

Then there is no column with that name in your dataset, can you paste your dataset values that you are getting . Try this if(DataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Contains(" DIST-V" )) { you code to hide the column }

Chevy Mark Sunderland · Answer

Here: if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { if (dset.Tables[0].Rows[0].Columns["DIST-V"] == "DIST-V") // Here { GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false; } }

Dorababu Meka · Answer

Where you are getting that error exactly if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) // Here { if (dset.Tables[0].Rows[0].Columns["DIST-V"] == "DIST-V") // Or here { GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false; } }

This is my code: Server Side Code: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ConnSqlServer.Open(); if (!Page.IsPostBack) { //Run the sql query } } protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { if (dset.Tables[0].Rows[0].Columns["DIST-V"] == "DIST-V") { GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false; } } } HTML Code in .aspx File PageSize="25" ShowHeader="true">

Are you getting this error at your dataset statement , is it entering in to the loop?

Chevy Mark Sunderland · Answer

Thanks for help. I tried your suggestion but I have this error: Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'System.Data.DataRow' does not contain a definition for ' Columns ' and no extension method ' Columns ' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Data.DataRow' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) if (dset.Tables[0].Rows[0].Columns["DIST-V"] == "DIST-V") { GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false; }

Dorababu Meka · Answer

If your dataset contains a result then you can write a condition some thing like GridView1_RowDataBound event you can write some thing like as follows if(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0].Columns["YourCoumnName"]=="YourDBColumn") { gridview1.Columns[0].Visible = false; // Here you have loop through your gridview rows and set particular column on all rows as false }
