Hiding DataGrid column except the header in asp.net using vb

Question

I was able to hide my unwanted column and rows in my DataGrid using OnItemDataBound

 e.Item.Cells(0).Visible = False

but the problem is the Headers are also disappearing. How can i hide the rows only and remain its header visible?

You have to check the DataGridItem.ItemType and only apply the code if it's Item or AlternatingItem to skip the Header:

Sub Item_Bound(sender As Object, e As DataGridItemEventArgs) 
      If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse _
            e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
        e.Item.Cells(0).Visible = False
     End If         
End Sub

As an aside, if you loop all Items in the grid all other ItemTypes are skipped automatically.

For Each item As DataGridItem In dataGrid1.Items
    ' Here only Item/AlternatingItem items are available,  others are omitted by default.

@dale: note that i've edited my answer to mention that the header,footer are only passed to ItemCreated or ItemDataBound, if you loop the Items-property those are omitted by default.
