Fixed Header in asp.net datagrid

[bigmelon]

I have tried the code from many different sites, such as this:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/DataGridFixedHeader.aspx

Even when I put the datagrid in a div tag, the header still scrolls off the screen. Has anyone gotten this to work? Thanks in advance.

In the past, I have just creatd a div or table with one row and the cols in it. Then below that, the actual datagrid with no headers in a scrollable div.

Or you could go with a javascript based solution. I actually prefer that method as I see a fixed header as an enhancement rather than core functionality.

Mark,

Do you have a link to an example? All the ones I have found are either like the link I posted or involve creating a seperate table as jbenson001 suggested.

Thanks,
Jeremy

I don't think this solution will work with 2003 will it? I tried adding the code to my datagrid and it doesn't recognize this code:

Private Sub dgPreOp_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dgPreOp.PreRender
ScrollT.UseAccessibleHeader = True
ScrollT.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader
End Sub

Or is it because they are using a Gridview and not a Datagrid?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Yes, those controls are different so you may have to modify the code. It's exactly the same principle though and you just need to have a look at what is happening client side to understand what you need to do.
