Rotated text in a datagrid

Jae · Nov 21, 2003

Does anyone know of a way to rotate text in a datagrid?

I have tried this :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/writingMode.htm
but this technique did not work for me.

I can create a Drawing.Image.Graphic but once you do that how do you add the
image to the page? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Maybe this will help. You need to use a style.

<%@ Page Language="VB" Strict=True %>

<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>

<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(byVal obj As Object, byVal e As EventArgs)
if not IsPostback
BindData()
end if
End Sub

sub BindData()
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim dr As DataRow
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("StringValue", GetType(String)))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 9
dr = dt.NewRow()
dr(0) = "Item " & i.ToString()
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next i
Dim dv As New DataView(dt)
os0.datasource = dv
os0.databind

End sub
</script>
<style>
..sideway { writing-mode:tb-rl}
</style>

<html>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp

ataList id="os0" repeatcolumns="2" repeatDirecttion="horizontal"
runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:label class="sideway" text='<%#
(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "StringValue")) %>' runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp

ataList>

</form>
</body>
</html>

For a datagrid you will need to do something like this.

<%@ Page Language="VB" Strict=True %>

<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>

<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(byVal obj As Object, byVal e As EventArgs)
if not IsPostback
BindData()
end if
End Sub

sub BindData()
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim dr As DataRow
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("StringValue", GetType(String)))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 9
dr = dt.NewRow()
dr(0) = "<span class=" & chr(34) & "sideway" & chr(34) & ">Item
" & i.ToString() & "</span>"
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next i
Dim dv As New DataView(dt)
os0.datasource = dv
os0.databind

End sub
</script>
<style>
..sideway { writing-mode:tb-rl}
</style>

<html>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp

ataGrid id="os0" runat="server">

<ItemStyle cssclass="sideway">
</ItemStyle>
<columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="StringValue" />

</columns>
</asp

ataGrid>

</form>
</body>
</html>
