add "spacers to gridview"

[Guest]

How can I add a empty row to my gridview?

example:
column 1 column2
row 1
row2
row3
row4
empty row across the grid
row5
row6
row7
row8
empty row across the grid

and so on

you need to get the info from whatever you are getting (DB 4 example)
and add into a datatable
then bind the datatable to the gridview

....
dr = command.executeReader()
while dr.read()
iRows += 1

r = dt.newRow()
r("column1") = dr.item("myColumn").toString
...
dt.rows.add(r)

if iRows mod 4 = 0 then
r = dt.newRow()
dt.Rows.Add(r)
end if

end while

....

gridView.DataSource = dt
gridView.DataBind()



that example will add an empty row to the Datatable each 4 rows

You can use the databinding event to alter rows. You should be able to add
rows, as well, at this step. Using Mod 4, you will have one after every
four.

I can think about something like this:

Replace the gridview with a repeater
Make an item template that will include 2 table rows.
Databind the cells in the first row to the fields for column1 and column2.
Live the cells in the second row empty and make the second row hidden.
Handle the repeater's PreRender event. Loop through the repeater items and
show the second row in every 5th item.
