Is there any way to not show an column in a datagrid
instead of removing the row in the dataset ?

_myds = customerRequestsLite.Fill("*");

RemoveColumns(_myds.Tables["CustomerRequest"],"Location");

RemoveColumns(_myds.Tables["CustomerRequest"],"Customer");

RemoveColumns(_myds.Tables["CustomerRequest"],"TimeCreated")
 
Actually, set it to -1. If you set it to 0, it leaves the borders visible
which looks untidy.

You can set up a custom GridStyle which defines which columns to show and a
small amount of formatting (basically with .NETCF you are limited to column
widths, null text and the column header). There is a sample here:-

To not show a column, simply don't include it in your GridStyle definition -
it will still be present in the underlying data table.
