  Gridview Hidden Field but Visible in the Code Behind

  Apr 30, 2012 05:31 PM|LINK

  I got a gridview with a BoundField set to Visible=False.  The problem is that I need the value in the code behind. 

  How can I have that field invisible to the user, but visible in the code behind?

  I think if you set the visibility of the column to false, it won't render the column, however you could use styling to hide the column itself using CSS.

  Take a look at this article; http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/80964/How-to-get-Hidden-Column-Value-in-GridView

  In select command select that field also and add it to DataKeynames list and retrieve  it whenever needed

  If it is in RowdataBoundEvent get it as

  string myKey = GridView1.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Values[index of DatakeyNames].ToString();

  It's in a RowCommand event because of a Select Button.

  OnRowDataBound should still work even if its a rowcommand.

  I ended up using this one....   Thx for your help.

  // Bind GridView to Data Source GVAddress.DataSource = dtAddress; GVAddress.DataBind();

   //Set visible to false for AddressId column after binding
