Is there a way to hide a specific column in a DataGrid when AutoGenerateColumns=True?

Question

I have a WPF 4.0 DataGrid that is bound to a DataTable using AutoGenerateColumns=True. The columns are dynamic, however I know there is always going to be a column named ID and I would like to hide this column. Is there a way I can do this?

Answer 1

in your datagrid, subscribe for the AutoGeneratingColumn event, the event args (DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs) has the column name and a "Cancel", if the column name is ID then set Cancel = true. should do the trick.
