I am binding a DataSet objetc as a datasource to my GridView. However i want to omit first column from being displayed.
If i write

C#

GridView1.Columns(0).Visible = False

then i get error saying there was some indexing error.
How can this be acheived ???
Also a weird thing is that when I try to count columns it displays me count as 0 !! :O

Thanks
