# How do you hide a column for a DataBound GridView

The way to hide a [column](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2288/column-site_name-ambiguous-problem) in a DataBound [GridView](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/873/update-delete-edit-gridview-in-asp-dot-net) is to trap the RowCreated [Event](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/167719/marquee-hire-benefits-of-event-lighting-hire-london) and set a Cell inside the column of the [row](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/83455/pm-modi-s-uae-visit-after-prophet-row) to Visible = false. Nice!\

\

```
protected void myGrid_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
{//  hide
a cell in the column to hide column 1
  e.Row.Cells[1].Visible = false;
}
}
```
