</Columns>

@Ram Try this `CTRL + A` then `(CTRL + K) + F` for formatting code in visual studio and re-edit your question here. — Deeptechtons, Oct 14 '11 at 12:17
@Dennis Why did you change it back to being poorly formatted? — Josh Darnell, Oct 14 '11 at 12:18
@jadarnel27 I edited it and then it didn't display the code at all, so I rolled back. This probably overlapped with your edit. Sorry. — Dennis Traub, Oct 14 '11 at 12:19
@Dennis: Whoops! No problem, those types of things are inevitable =) — Josh Darnell, Oct 14 '11 at 12:20

Handle the ItemDataBound event

public void gridItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || 
            e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
        {
            CheckBox cbStaticRolling= (CheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("cbStaticRolling");
            cbStaticRolling.Visible = false;
        }
    }

Is there an ItemDataBound event for the GridView? [I don't see it in the events on MSDN](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.aspx#events). Perhaps you mean [RowDataBound](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.rowdatabound.aspx)? – Josh Darnell Oct 14 '11 at 12:31
No, for GridView there is not. But the question it's about the old DataGrid – Agustin Meriles Oct 14 '11 at 13:00

thanks man! I was writing the answer for RowDataBound originally, but then I figured out that it was about DataGrid =) – Agustin Meriles Oct 14 '11 at 13:07
