Hide a Column in Telerik RadGrid hierarchy

Charan Raju C R picture Charan Raju C R · Jan 10, 2012 · Viewed 13.5k times · Source

I have an hierarchy in Telerik RadGrid in ASP .Net as shown in below Fig. Data binding is at run time and dynamic.

My requirement is, I need to hide some columns programmatically like, "OrderID" in second level, "EmployeeID" in third level and "OrderID" in 4th level, but I need the those values for manipulation. Could you help me to achieve this ..? enter image description here

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">
   </telerik:RadGrid>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:testDatabaseConnectionString %>" 
        SelectCommand="SELECT [CustomerID], [ContactName] FROM [Contacts]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" 
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:testDatabaseConnectionString %>" 
        SelectCommand="SELECT [CustomerID], [OrderID], [OrderDate] FROM [Orders] WHERE ([CustomerID] = @CustomerID)">
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:Parameter Name="CustomerID" Type="Int32" />

Please check the "RadGrid1_DetailTableDataBind" event in above code.

Let me know if any concern.
