Hi all:
I am working on a Dynamic Data project using scaffolding on VS2010, and it works very nice when using all fields of a table, it shows every table with all fields, Edit, Insert, view-related-items, etc. But i have some tables with too many fields, i would like to restrict or limit the number of columns to display on some tables, but keeping the auto-generated view-related-tables hyperlinks, so I tried with the Custom pages, disabling AutoGenerateColumns on the GridView and specifying the fields I'd like, creating ItemTemplates, DynamicField, and worked fine, showing the columns specified, but then missed the autogenerated columns, specifically those "View Related-Table-Items", stopped to show themselves...
How to show the view-related-tables hyperlink again along my "selected" columns
Thanks in advance
Pinchete

0	Hi You could try this way, Try to keep AutogenerateColumns="true", with addtion to your custom columns, Then OnPage Load, hide the unwanted columns programmatically http://www.dotnetfunda.com/codes/code1518-hide-a-column-in-aspnet-gridview-from-code-behind-file.aspx Thanks, Debata Xpincho, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Debata, thanks for answering, but the Collection of columns obtained with scaffolding within the Metadata table is readonly, could not Remove any column, nor set Visible property Xpincho, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
