  hi all,

  I am trying to access the value of a hidden column(gridview column) but it doesn't show. But when I unhide(Visible = True) the column it shows the value. My code:

  protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)

  {

  if (e.CommandName == "editstate")

  {

  int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

  txt_state_cd.Text = GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[0].Text;

  txt_state_nm.Text = GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[1].Text;

  }

   HTML Code:

  <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CCCCCC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="Black" GridLines="Horizontal" Width="175px" OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand">

  <Columns>

  <asp:BoundField DataField="citystate_cd" ReadOnly="True" Visible="False" />

  <asp:BoundField DataField="citystate_nm" HeaderText="State Name" >

  <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

  </asp:BoundField>

  <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Image" ImageUrl="~/images/icon-edit.gif" Text="Edit" CommandName="editstate" />

  <asp:CommandField ButtonType="Image" DeleteImageUrl="~/images/icon-delete.gif" ShowDeleteButton="True" />

  </Columns>

  <EditRowStyle BackColor="LightYellow" ForeColor="Gray" />

  <FooterStyle BackColor="#CCCC99" ForeColor="Black" />

  <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#CC3333" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />

  <PagerStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="Black" HorizontalAlign="Right" />

  <HeaderStyle BackColor="#333333" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />

  </asp:GridView>

   

  I have used a bound field for "citystate_cd" but I have set its Visible property to False(coz I don't want to show this column, but want to access its value). It does work. Whereas if I set the Visible property to True then it works. I want that it sahould be hidden as well as I should be able to access the value.

   

  Regards,
