I have an object that I set as the datasource for a gridview - this works fine, I get a nice table on the page with a column for each public property.
But - I always want to hide one of the columns (but still need it available as a public property.
I'm using a clunky hide-column-on-row-created fix for now, but am looking for a better solution, like an attribute applied to the property to hide it from databinding.
Apparently this exists in winforms:
[Browsable(false)] // this stops Type from showing up in databound controls
public string Type { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
Can anyone suggest a similar solution for ASP.NET?
Update:
I marked Rex M's answer as correct, because it answers the question, but if anyone else is interested in how to do this:
What eventually worked for me was to mark the property corresponding to the column I wanted to hide as internal instead of public.
