Hide a GridView column by name at runtime in ASP.Net

Question

Is it possible to show/hide a GridView column at runtime by name?

I can do it via the index like the following:

gridReviews.Columns[4].Visible = false;

However I'd like to do the following:

gridReviews.Columns["Name"].Visible = false;

What's the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You can use the following code for it:

foreach (DataControlField col in gridReviews.Columns)
        {
            if (col.HeaderText == "Name")
            {
                col.Visible = false;
            }
        }
