How can I programatically change whether a column is visible/not visible in
a DataGrid?

TIA - Jeff.

You need to do it for every item in ItemDataBound event.

Will that make the item in the row visible/invisible or the entire column
invisible? I want to be able to have a complete column (header included)
appear/not appear.

ItemDataBound event fires for every item (row) including header and footer.
You will need to locate in the item the cell that belongs to the required
column and hide it like

e.Item.Cells[i].Visible = false;

That is not true.

You can set
DataGrid1.Columns(i).Visible=True
