Hidden boundfield with RowDataBound not working?

Tyring to retrieve value from a hidden boundfield, but it is not returning the value within the logic, please see the code and then my short explaination at the bottom.

Here is the gridview with the columns bound to my sqldatasource:
<asp:GridView ID="RecipHistoryGridView" runat="server" DataSourceID="sqlRecipHistory" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="recip_id,member_id" DataMember="DefaultView" AllowPaging="True" CssClass="TextSmall" Width="555px" Visible="False" AllowSorting="True" PageSize="5" OnRowDataBound="RecipHistoryGridView_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="recip_id" HeaderText="View" NavigateUrl="/_MembersOnly/RecipListing/RecipListingForm.aspx"
SortExpression="recip_id" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="recip_to" HeaderText="To" SortExpression="recip_to" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="recip_status" HeaderText="Status" SortExpression="recip_status" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="agent_name" HeaderText="Agent" SortExpression="agent_name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="office_name" HeaderText="Office" SortExpression="office_name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="recip_address" HeaderText="Address" SortExpression="recip_address" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="mls_id" HeaderText="MLS #" SortExpression="mls_id" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="recip_date" DataFormatString="{0:d}" HeaderText="Entered"
HtmlEncode="False" SortExpression="recip_date" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="recip_type" HeaderText="RecipType" SortExpression="recip_type"
Visible="False" />
</Columns>
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#5C6F8D" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#8B9FC4" />
<PagerSettings Mode="NextPreviousFirstLast" />
<PagerStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</asp:GridView>

The code behind logic to change the text of the first column if the hidden field value is something:

Protected Sub RecipHistoryGridView_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles RecipHistoryGridView.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

' Change the first column (recip_id) to a status string.
If e.Row.Cells(8).Text = "1" Then
e.Row.Cells(0).Text = "Listing In"
ElseIf e.Row.Cells(8).Text = "0" Then
e.Row.Cells(0).Text = "Listing Out"
End If
End If

End Sub

The problem is, when the Recip Type column in hidden the logic doesn't work? But when i set the column to visible the logic fires off correctly.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

 

Figured this out!

Here is the soultion for VB:

Seems like a DataRowView is used to the displayed content with different attributes! Here is the VB Code:

Protected Sub RecipHistoryGridView_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles RecipHistoryGridView.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

' Change the first column (recip_id) to a status string.

Dim d As DataRowView = e.Row.DataItem()
If d("recip_type").ToString = "1" Then
e.Row.Cells(0).Text = "Listing In"
ElseIf d("recip_type").ToString = "0" Then
e.Row.Cells(0).Text = "Listing Out"
End If

End If

End Sub

Thanks again!
