title: How to use a hidden Boundfield in a GridView in ASP.NET?
body: <p>I am binding a GridView using a DataSource in asp.net, and i would like to have some hidden BoundFields so I can access those values in my RowDataBound Function. However, when I set Visible="False" on these BoundFields the values do not get set and are always blank in the RowDataBound function.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this? I've seen some suggestions of setting the style on the BoundField to hidden but this did not work for me either. Ideally I don't even want a column created in the gridview, I just want these values to be hidden so I can access them. Thanks!</p>
