Hi

I think is a simple request but as I cannot find any information on the
general search engines I think that I may be delving into something a
bit more complicated than I realise!

ASP.NET 1.1 c#

I have a datagrid with around 10 columns, all displaying information
from the database... standard stuff I hear you say until I say that I
need to display a long piece of text (255 characters max). I thought I
would be able to display this on a seperate row but I have looked into
templating and am not sure if this is suitable..

I need pagination at the same time hence the datagrid and most of the
items are hyperlinks.

To summarise I need:

Heading A | Heading B | Heading C
------------------------------------

He is a great guy but is now thinking he doesn;t know anything
------------------------------------
Susan Partridge Female
Shes a great gal
------------------------------------
etc etc

Is this possibe and could anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Richard
 
Hi,


Humm, I have never been in the situation of using two rows per dataitem,
not sure if possible even.

What if instead of using another row you use a DIV which you show/hide as
needed.?

If not you cannot use the datagrid, and will have to use a Repeater.

cheers,
