I need to have a Column within a Silverlight DataGrid be vis

Answer 1

This works on a data grid template column:

public class ExtendedDataGridColumn : DataGridTemplateColumn
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty VisibilityProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Visibility", typeof(Visibility), typeof(DataGridTemplateColumn), new PropertyMetadata(Visibility.Visible, VisibilityChanged));
    public new Visibility Visibility
    {
        get { return (Visibility)GetValue(VisibilityProperty); }
        set { SetValue(VisibilityProperty, value); }
    }
    private static void VisibilityChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((DataGridTemplateColumn)d != null)
        {
            ((DataGridTemplateColumn)d).Visibility = (Visibility)e.NewValue;
        }
    }
}
