extra column headers on top of grid

[sajidi99]

Hi,

I need to show extra column headers in the datagrid. Can someone help me ... how to do that?

Datagrid should be something like this:-

Original New
-------- ---
Week Date Week Date
: : : :
: : : :
: : : :

My question is how to display "Original" & "New" headings that span over 2 columns?

Thanks

well you could hack it and not make it part of the datagrid, but a table directly above it.

or, make original and new the headers in your datagrid then add a row at position 0 of the grid with your subheaders.

You can achieve this using what I think is termed 'CSS'. I presume you're using an asp web page to output the content of your datagrid?

As tperri says, use two tables, one to display your headers, the second to display your datagrid, and then just line up the headers in the first table. I'm no expert but it's simple enough to get working.

Example:

<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">
<asp:Label ID="lblLabel" runat="server" Text="Header" />
</td>
<td style="width: 50px;"></td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Header2" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">
<tr>
<td>
<aspataGrid ID="dgQuery" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
