Change the visibility property from code behind - asp.net

Question

I'm trying to hide the 'Delete' link if value in CUST_ORDER_ID = 'X' but I don't know how to set the visibility property to "False"
My asp.
<Columns>
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ROWID" SortExpression="ROWID" Visible="False"> </asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CUST_ORDER_ID" HeaderText="ORDER ID" SortExpression="CUST_ORDER_ID">
<ItemStyle Width="50px"></ItemStyle>
and the code behind
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
'check is row non order type and allow user to delete
Dim oid As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(2)
If oid.Text = "X" Then
Dim tb As Button = e.Row.Cells(1).Controls(1)
'Dim tb = e.Row.FindControl("DeleteButton")
tb.Visible = "False"
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks for all of the ideas. This is the cleanest solution I found on this site but it was in c# so converted to vb.
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="DeleteButton" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
and the code behind
Dim oid As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(2)
Dim tb = e.Row.FindControl("DeleteButton")
If oid.Text = "X" Then
tb.Visible = True
Else
tb.Visible = False
End If

Maybe you can change to Templatefield
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:label ID="lbl1" runat="server" text='<%#left(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "field1"),20)%>'>
</asp:label>
</ItemTemplate>
With this code:
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
Dim lbl1 As Label
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
lbl1 = CType(e.Row.FindControl("lbl1"), Label)
If oid.Text = "X" Then
lbl1 .Visible = "False"
End If
End If
End Sub
You can use almost any control in template.
