How to hide a property on DataGrid
DotNet136
Is there an attribute for a property on an object that saus :"This property is not shown on a DataGrid" ? I know it can be done on the grid itself, using DataGridTableStyle, DataGridColumnStyle etc. But I`d like to get the same result by changing my class, not at run-time changing grid`s behaveiour. A small example: public class User { private string m_Uid; private string m_Name; private string m_Pwd; // UID should be visible on a DataGrid public string UID { get {return m_Uid;} set {m_Uid = value;} } // Name should be visible on a DataGrid public string Name { get {return m_Name;} set {m_Uid = Name;} } // PWD should *NOT* be visible on a DataGrid //is there an attribute for this ? [SomeAttribute.PreventBindingToGrid(true)] // this is what I`m looking for public string PWD { get {return m_Pwd;} set {m_Pwd = value;} } } // End of User. On a form with a DataGrid - gridUsers, We implement (implementation not shown) a method to fetch users into an ArrayList of User objects, and bind gridUsers to the list: ArrayList alUsers = FetchUsers(); gridUsers.DataSource = alUsers; // Currently, the grid has 3 columns, including PWD. Can this be done (prevent PWD property from binding) ? TIA Boaz Ben-Porat DataPharm a/s Denmark - |
