Hi Dave,

Cell has a Hidden property. If you set it true, it will display blank spot in the row. InitializeRow event is probably a good place where you can put code to set this property.

I did that with a bunch of trailing checkboxes on partial empty rows:

protected override void InitializeRow(object sender, InitializeRowEventArgs e)
{
       if (e.Row.Cells[cb].Value == DBNull.Value)
           e.Row.Cells[cb].Style = ColumnStyle.FormattedText;
}

Suppose you wants to shows only 2 columns and want to hide rest of columns. Then try this column

Try

                         Select Case oColumn.Key.ToUpper

                                   Case "Column Name 1"

                                              oColumn.Header.Caption = "Modified Column Name 1"

                                    Case "Column Name 2"

                                              oColumn.Header.Caption = "Modified Column Name 2"

                                   Case Else

                                               oColumn.Hidden = True

                        End Select

                 Next

           End Try

End Sub
