How to hide a column in GridView according to recieved Session

Question

See more:

I have populated the grid view with BoundField property and after that I can hide a column with CSS class like following code:

C#

<asp:BoundField DataField ="FieldNamde" HeaderText="FieldName" HeaderStyle-CssClass="hidden" ItemStyle-CssClass="hidden">

The CSS Class hidden is set as following

CSS

.hidden
{
display:none;
}

Also to populate the same grid view I want to hide another column according to session state for example:

C#

if ((Session["SessionName"] != null ? (string)Session["SessionName"] : "") == "SomeText")

To be more precisely, I want to show or hide a column according to the Session and if SessionName is SomeText to show a column, if SessionName is OtherText I want to hide a column.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Cheers.

I found a solution and in case that someone else has the same problem just go to grid view and select the event RowCreated and after that write the code as following:

C#

protected void gvGridView_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
       {
             /// Session name
           if ((Session["SessionName"] != null ? (string)Session["SessionName"] : "") == "SomeText")
           {
                  /// Column that has DataField
                   if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
                   {
                       e.Row.Cells[0].CssClass = "hidden";
                   }
                   /// Column header
                   else if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
                   {
                       e.Row.Cells[0].CssClass = "hidden";
                   }
           }
       }

Thank you all.
