Hi, I've done this, but in a different way. The DataGrid's column property takes an array DataGridColumn objects, so what u do is create two sets of arrays:
<mx:Array id="columns1"> <mx:DataGridColumn ... /> <mx:DataGridColumn ... /> ... </mx:Array> <mx:Array id="columns2"> <mx:DataGridColumn ... /> <mx:DataGridColumn ... /> ... </mx:Array> Then, when u need to, switch the columns being attached to the grid, like so: if( ... ) { dg.columns = columns1; } else { dg.columns = columns2; } dg.dataProvider = values; That should be enough to get u going.

I have a view state that hides/shows datagrid columns. I need the "id" attribute in order to identify to the State which column to set the 'visible' value to. In mxml, there is a <mx: DataGridColumn id="" ../> attribute, HOWEVER, there is not one when you do this: var dataGridColumn : DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(); dataGridColumn.id="fromColumn";// COMPILER ERROR 'id' does not exist How is this possible? I appreciate your help in advance.
