Hi,

  I am using the RowChecker cloumn to allow users to check which columns to select.  Below is a snippet of code.

 	For Each keyValue As String In checkedRows
                dnumber = keyValue
                entry_date = WebGrid1.RootTable.Rows.GetRowByKeyValue(keyValue).Cells(5).Value
                state = WebGrid1.RootTable.Rows.GetRowByKeyValue(keyValue).Cells(3).Value
                ' run function to do something...
        Next

My questions are, 1) is there a way to get he value of the column without using the index value (..Cells(5))?  I've tried the .GetNamedItem("state"), but that didn't seemt to work.  I need this becuause he user may move the column to anothre location.

2) can you get the value of a column that is hidden?

Both of these need to be done server side.

thanks

thanks
