Show muliple headers in datagrid

[Flare]

Hi

Im trying to make a datagrid wich have a header and a subheader directly
under. The top header is the problem sine it should "group" the subheader. I
imagine to use columspan on the top header. I just cant see how i should
define this topheader.

I wanrt something like this: where [] is a cell

[General info ] [ Births ]
[ID] [Customer] [Name] [2000] [2001] [2002] [2003]

Hi

In the DataGrid PreRender Event try below code
Dim dgItem As New DataGridItem(0, 0, ListItemType.Header)
Dim tbCell As New TableCell
tbCell.ColumnSpan = 3 'Set it to the colspan that you want
tbCell.Text = "General Information"
tbCell.Attributes.Add("style", "text-align:center")
dgItem.Cells.Add(tbCell)
DataGrid1.Controls(0).Controls.AddAt(0, dgItem)

HTH

Ah to quick. It dosent work. The header is applied to the bottom of the datagrid. Ive tried to use the OnItemCreate. This works great, but strange enough not when the datagrid is placed in a UserControl and then dynamicly loaded with LoadControl. very strange very strange. If i drag and drop the Usercontrol with the grid it works fine
