DataGrid displaying item in two lines

[jerasi]

Hello,
I'm trying to format a data item so it displays on two lines, I need the id, last name and first name to display on the first line and the details to display on the second line (see xml snippet below).
I don't have much experience with the data grid so any samples would be appreciated. Thank you.

<something>
<scratch>
<id>1</id>
<last_name>Peacock</last_name>
<first_name>Margaret</first_name>
<details>long notes or description goes here</details>
</scratch>
</something>

Let me put it this way:
While StressLevel Is High
Productivity -= 1
Marriage = Nothing
End While

Are the data items coming from different database fields (if so you could place them in different <div> tags)?

This sort of scenario is actually better suited for a DataList where you can assign item templates such that you have groups of data in a single section repeated however many times. E.g. you'd be able to have 3 databound labels separated by line breaks, which can then be put into a layout where you'd have, say 4 columns maximum, with N-number of rows.

You can also do a one column grid and use a template column to place the fields in as you want them. You can have as many rows as you want.

Hope this helps,

Hope everyone is having a great day!
