Well you can add this style in the html

<style>
.hidden {display:none;}
        #exportother {
            position: relative;
            top: 13px;
            left: -840px;
        }
    </style>

Then on the field you want to hide

ItemStyle-CssClass="hidden"
HeaderStyle-CssClass="hidden"

The field will be hidden but will be accessible from code behind.
