How to hide a column in a DataGrid?

Question

I need to hide the RevToDate column in the DataGrid for any user who is not admin. How do I hide only this column?

 <asp:DataGrid runat="server" CssClass="tblResults" OnItemDataBound="dgList_ItemCreated" AllowSorting="true" OnSortCommand="dgCustomer_Sort" ID="dgCustomers" DataKeyField="ID" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
            <HeaderStyle CssClass="tblResultsHeader" />
            <AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="#EEEEEE" />
            <Columns>
                <asp:HyperLinkColumn ItemStyle-CssClass="loading" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Customer.aspx?CustID={0}" DataNavigateUrlField="ID" DataTextField="AccountCode" HeaderText="A/C Code" SortExpression="AccountCode"></asp:HyperLinkColumn>
                <asp:BoundColumn DataField="CurrencyDesc" HeaderText="Currency" SortExpression="CurrencyDesc"></asp:BoundColumn>
                <asp:BoundColumn DataField="RevToDate" HeaderText="Rev To Date (Net)" SortExpression="RevToDate"></asp:BoundColumn>
                <asp:BoundColumn DataField="CreditLimitAmount" HeaderText="Credit Limit" SortExpression="CreditLimitAmount"></asp:BoundColumn>
                <asp:BoundColumn DataField="DiscountReviewDate" HeaderText="Discount Review Date" SortExpression="DiscountReviewDate" Visible="false"></asp:BoundColumn>
            </Columns>
 </asp:DataGrid

I'm using this code to hide certain items:

 if (!CurrentUser.IsInRole("Admin"))
    {
        btnDelete.Visible = false;
        btnUpload2.Visible = false;
    }

But I am not sure how to hide the column. I can't set Visible to false in the CSS because it will hide the column from all users.

Answer 1

You can do like this.

 if (!CurrentUser.IsInRole("Admin"))
 {
     this.dgCustomers.Columns[2].Visible = false;
     btnDelete.Visible = false;
     btnUpload2.Visible = false;
 }
