How can I hide a boundfield in Gridview to Visible="false" and still make it work?
The code below works fine but I don't want to display the action_key label. When I change the attribute Visible="True" to false it no long works. Any alternatives?
<asp:GridView ID="gvActions" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AutoGenerateEditButton="True" DataSourceID="sdsgvActions" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="PIR_Key" HeaderText="PIR_Key" InsertVisible="False" SortExpression="PIR_Key" Visible="False" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Action_Key" HeaderText="Key" InsertVisible="False"
Visible="True" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Action Item" SortExpression="Action_Item">

I would assume from the code posted that Action_Key is the primary key that the update is using.
So by "no long[er] works" I would imagine your update doesn't have anything to key off of.
If you want to not show the field, but still use it, the Gridview has a feature called DataKeys specifically made for this purpose.

If you scroll down, there are examples in vb and c# that should easily fit into your code.
