I really don't need or want price text box as with some help (thanks Dark Knight) now created a new column thats exactly as I need.

However seems very long winded to delete all references out of database and all pages relating to price.

Ideally I would like to turn visible to false and just allow nulls in database so it sits there but does nothing - is this possible? - how?

I can see this options for Adtitlelabel to make visible false but not for price text box - any ideas?

Grateful of your help,

Roy Martian.

Just set the visible property on the Textbox to false.

Price is a required item, so I would set the value on load to 0 and then set the textbox visible to false.

Thanks, where do I find "load value" for price text box?

FYI, I did already try visible = false and ticking nulls check box but still got a problem.

1. Error message "Price incoorect" think is due to "decimal requirements"

2. Also layout looks a little funny as just hidden but leaves big hole in page - any tips to adjust?

I dont usually like to give advice on hacks ;) because if it was me and i was sure im not going to need it then id delete it.. 

But you can just

1. delete the <legend>price</legend>

2. Hide  the PriceTextBox (Visible=false) (You can change its text value to 0 instead of Bind("Price") )

3.Delete or disable (Enabled=false) the validator PriceValidator that comes after it in the .aspx file

If you delete the textbox completey (I recommend that) you'll need to :

1. Go to PostAdWizard_FinishButtonClick and change Decimal price = Decimal.Parse(PriceTextBox.Text); to Decimal price = 0.0;

2. Delete the PriceValidator 

3. Delete the method PriceValidator_ServerValidate

Thanks Ash,

 I hear you on hacks, not sure about having ghost text box in the background so will try second idea to delete textbox completely.

 Thanks,

Roy.

Great I can confirm recommended method works well!

Thanks,

On ShowAd.aspx I would to stop showing;

item#

category

date entered

expiration

Currently

but also keep the other items, any ideas?

Fixed, using visible = false - no worries
