Hide GridView Column using Gridview's DataField

Question

I have a gridview and I wanna hide some columns using gridview's datafield. I mean I use normally GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false; and it works. But for big gridviews it's complicated. Is there a way to do it using DataField for a asp.net gridview. There is a way for telerik radgrid below.

RadGrid.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ID").Visible = false; ("ID" --> datafield of grid)

Edited for updated question

In ASP.NET GridView:

private int GetColumnIndexByName(GridView grid, string name)
{
    foreach (DataControlField col in grid.Columns)
    {
        if (col.HeaderText.ToLower().Trim() == name.ToLower().Trim())
        {
            return grid.Columns.IndexOf(col);
        }
    }

    return -1;
}

Then use that helper function to set your visibility:

int column = GetColumnIndexByName(GridView1, "ID")
if ( column != -1 )
{
    GridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false
}

In Telerik RadGrid

Server-side:

protected void gvCktMap_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
    gvCktMap.MasterTableView.GetColumn("sid").Visible = false;  
    gvCktMap.MasterTableView.GetColumn("customername").Visible = false; 
    gvCktMap.MasterTableView.GetColumn("marketname").Visible = false; 
    gvCktMap.Rebind(); 
}

Client-side:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> 
function Button1_Click() 
{ 
    var radGrid = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>'); 
    var table = radGrid.get_masterTableView(); 
    var column = table.getColumnByUniqueName("cbDiscontinued"); 
    table.hideColumn(column.get_element().cellIndex); 
}
