row display in a datagrid

[Guest]

Hello,

I want to display a single row in a datagrid. but this row has 28 attributes
and some of them are brief descriptions(2 to 3 lines). To display data nicely
i want my grid to enlarge in height and not in width, so columns have a
constant width where the title fits in and cells of the row enlarge in height
to fit the data content.
How can i do it?

Thank you.

Hi Philip,

If it's a web application, it's better to use DataList or Repeater. So you
can customize the layout.

No Elton, it is not a web application.

You can think two solutions.

1) Create a custom control that can show your 28 attributes properly, then
manually loop thru data source to dynamically generate the control instances.
2) Use Master-Detail contents. Show ID and brief description in Master
datagrid, and when user move thru the datagrid to show detail contents in a
detail panel.
