I have a grid control with an invisible column. I use something like this
usually:
string s = gvDNR.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text;
however when the column is not visible the text is always empty. Where is it
kept?

If I remember correctly you have to use a template field:

<asp:TemplateField Visible="false">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblPKID" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("PKID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
