ASP .Net 2.0 Update a record in data grid without displaying the ID field

Hi all

Using VS2005 to create a VB .Net ASP .Net page. I have a grid view with a datasource which has an update query of:

Code:

update mytable set firstname=@firstname where id=@id

I dont want to display the field 'id' to the user. But when I hide it the update doesn't work. Is it possible to hide the 'id' field and still keep the update functionality?

Thanks in advance

Hi ~J~

When you say class do you mean CSS class?

Cheers

I can't quite get it to work. It still shows the field.

Try adding 'id' to the gridview datakeys property.

Thanks very much, this worked!
