Created an idea to do ur task , Try below Code
u ve to use :
RowDataBound

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" 
AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True"  
PageSize="3" Width="324px" DataKeyNames="CategoryID"  OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="orderid" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="orderstatus" />
<asp:TemplateField> 
<ItemTemplate>
   <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server"  text='<%# Bind("Name") %>'>
   </asp:Label>
   
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Button ID="butTest" runat="server" Text="Button" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

 Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

            ' Display the company name in italics.
            Dim butTest As Button = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("butOrder"), Button)
            Dim _key As String = GridView1.DataKeys(e.Row.RowIndex).Value.ToString()
            Dim orderChk As String = e.Row.Cells(1).Text ' Assign ur order Status column 

            If orderChk = "" Then
                butTest.Visible = False
            End If

        End If

    End Sub

Open in new window

<asp:ButtonField Text="View" ButtonType="Button" CommandName="View Detail" >

I got an error in this line

Dim CustomerId As String = GridView1.DataKeys(e.Row.RowIndex).Value.ToString()

"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index"

I need use this CustomerId to check Order table if no reture I can Set
e.Row.Cells(0).Visible = False

is ur button invisible ?
Yes,Dat might happen when u use buttonfield since it doesnt got id so hiding a cell m8 cause dis problem
Using template field will make ur job easier . Where u r hiden a button only . Worth trying by dat way which is flexible .
