Columnspan in Datagrid ?

[ajaymehra]

Hi,
I am using a dataview as my datagrids datasource and binding i
dynamically.
Can I specify a column span for a single row of a datagrid?

Thanks in advance,
Aja

sure,
do so in the itemdatabound. each row gets bound in this event so you can
pick your row, apply column span and then mark that row as dirty so
columnspan doesn't get applied to every row. Use viewstate for this
ViewState["DIRTY"] = "True"

if(e.item.itemtype = = listitem.item)
{
if(ViewState["DIRTY"] == null)
e.item.cells[2].ColumnSpan = 2;
}

roughly
