Is there any way to apply an attribute to a model file in ASP.NET Dynamic Data to hide the column?
For instance, I can currently set the display name of a column like this:
[DisplayName("Last name")]
public object Last_name { get; set; }
Is there a similar way to hide a column?
Edit: Many thanks to Christian Hagelid for going the extra mile and giving a spot-on answer :-)
Had no idea what ASP.NET Dynamic Data was so you promted me to so some research :)
Looks like the property you are looking for is
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
There is also a similar property for tables
[ScaffoldTable(false)]
A much, much easier method: If you want to only show certain columns in the List page, but all or others in the Details, etc. pages, see How do I hide a column only on the list page in ASP.NET Dynamic Data?
Simply set AutoGenerateColumns="false" in the GridView control, then define exactly the columns you want:
<Columns>
...
<asp:DynamicField DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="First Name" />
<asp:DynamicField DataField="LastName" HeaderText="Last Name" />
</Columns>
