way to make 2 GridViews line up

[David Thielen]

Hi all;

I have a couple of pages where I have a GridView, some text, then a secong
GridView. Both GridViews display the same type of data (different selects)
and I would like their columns to line up. Is there any way to do this other
than forcing the width on each?

If the data is in separate GridViews the data will be in separate HTML
tables. That will cause them to behave independently unless you do set
their widths to match specifically.

What you might want to try is placing the data together in the same
GridView and try to separate the 2 groups, but that could be hard to
do, especially if you allow for sorting.

Look for the ImportRow method to load the DataRows from another
DataTable into the shared DataTable.

Hello Dave,

As for the multi GridView's column alignment, I'm afraid we haven't any
better means other than use Column width the control the size of each
column of GridView since different Gridview is rendered in different html
<table> element and there is no standard means to align two separate html
table's table columns in html page.

That's what I thought - but figured it never hurts to ask.
