I have a gridview, with some columns. I want to hide one column, but still access its value when I select a record.
Could someone help me to achieve this?
Any Help is appreciated.
This is my gridview: OutlookID is the column to hide!
<asp:GridView ID="gvOutlookMeldingen" runat="server"
AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
AutoGenerateSelectButton="True" onselectedindexchanged="GridView_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Melder" HeaderText="Melder" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Onderwerp" HeaderText="Onderwerp" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Omschrijving">
<ItemTemplate>
<div style="overflow:auto; width: 500px; height: 150px;">
<asp:Label ID="lblOmschrijving" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Omschrijving")%>'></asp:Label>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Meldingsdatum" HeaderText="Meldingsdatum" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="OutlookID" HeaderText="OutlookID" Visible="false" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
This is the code when I select a record:
Label lblOmschrijving = (Label)gvOutlookMeldingen.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblOmschrijving");
//Label lblOutlookID = (Label)gvOutlookMeldingen.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblOutlookID");
Response.Redirect("Detailscherm.aspx?"
+ "melder=" + Server.UrlEncode(gvOutlookMeldingen.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text)
+ "&meldingsdatum=" + gvOutlookMeldingen.SelectedRow.Cells[4].Text
+ "&onderwerp=" + Server.UrlEncode(gvOutlookMeldingen.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text)
+ "&outlookid=" + Server.UrlEncode(gvOutlookMeldingen.SelectedRow.Cells[5].Text)
+ "&omschrijving=" + Server.UrlEncode(lblOmschrijving.Text)
+ "&niv1=" + ""
+ "&niv2=" + "");

Set this code after you've binded the data. To get this functionality I do this:
With this the first column is hidden, but you should be able to acces it's value.
