DataGrid Control Customization 1

[thedman00]

I'm wondering how you put a line break between the columns of your datagrid. The goal is to display some fields (columns) on one line and others on the next line due to the length of some of the fields (columns) An example output is below.


ID FNAME LNAME
1 Billy Bob

DESCRIPTION
This is a description

Rather than having the description directly following the LNAME.

In your datagrid, try using a single TemplateColumn like this:

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
<tr>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval ( Container.DataItem, &quot;ID&quot; ) %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval ( Container.DataItem, &quot;FNAME&quot; ) %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval ( Container.DataItem, &quot;LNAME&quot; ) %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=3><%# DataBinder.Eval ( Container.DataItem, &quot;DESCRIPTION&quot; %></td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

As far as I know, there is no built-in method of adding a second row based on the same record to a datagrid. What this does is creates one cell in the datagrid, and then populates that cell with a table with the needed formatting.
