TemplateColumn Width

[Edward]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to set a TemplateColumn width to 0 to
hide the column? When I try this it only decreases to the
length of the longest control within the column? I can't
set the visible property to false because I still need to
access the values within the column

Thanks

Ed

Edward,

If you set the column to visible="false" you will still be able to access it
in the code-behind. If you need to access its value from the client, then
you are correct you can't set visible="false".

If the latter is the case (you need to access the value from the client
code) you could try using <div> tags around it and setting it's visibility
with CSS.
