Hide GridView Columns based on User Selection

Hi Experts,

I am working on some reports in ASP.NET with C#. More of the work is done at back-end creating the query and front-end we can simply attach it to GridView.

Now, we need user to be able to choose from the list of columns to be displayed at front-end.

I can figure out the query part, to make columns invisible and saving user preferences and stuff.
But I am not getting any idea for an interface for client to be able to choose columns from. Don't think that purchasing any tool would be an option. So, if you can suggest some way for implementing this, using javascript or asp.net.
I would prefer to have that interface on the same page itself, but can go for another page if no other option.

Any suggestions or similar site where this has been implemented?

Thanks.
