DataGridViewColumn.Visible Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the column is visible.

C#
public override bool Visible { get; set; }

Property Value

true if the column is visible; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the DataGridViewBand.Visible property, which is nearly identical to the Visible property of the DataGridViewColumn class. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DataGridViewBand class overview.

C#
// Hide a band of cells.
private void Button6_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

    DataGridViewBand band = dataGridView.Rows[3];
    band.Visible = false;
}

Remarks

Use this property to hide a column from view while keeping the column in the DataGridView. To completely remove a column, use the DataGridViewColumnCollection.Remove method.

To hide a column that is automatically generated when binding to a data source, set this property in a DataBindingComplete event handler.
