Add GridHeaderItem Dynamically

[Richard Locke]

I need to add GridHeaderItem just like the way it is done in this link with the GridView
http://csharpdotnetfreak.blogspot.com/2008/11/merging-gridview-headers-to-have.html

Here's the part of the code from the link:
protected void grvMergeHeader_RowCreated
(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
    GridView HeaderGrid = (GridView)sender;
    GridViewRow HeaderGridRow =
    new GridViewRow(0, 0, DataControlRowType.Header,
    DataControlRowState.Insert);
    TableCell HeaderCell = new TableCell();
    HeaderCell.Text = "Department";
    HeaderCell.ColumnSpan = 2;
    HeaderGridRow.Cells.Add(HeaderCell);

    HeaderCell = new TableCell();
    HeaderCell.Text = "Employee";
    HeaderCell.ColumnSpan = 2;
    HeaderGridRow.Cells.Add(HeaderCell);

    grvMergeHeader.Controls[0].Controls.AddAt
    (0, HeaderGridRow);

}
}

I tried on my own up to this point but with no sucess. MyRadGrid is the name of the RadGrid.

 

 

protected

void RollUpDataRadGrid_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

 

{

 

if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)

 

{

 

RadGrid HeaderGrid = (RadGrid)sender;

 

 

GridHeaderItem headerItem = new GridHeaderItem(MyRadGrid.MasterTableView, 0, 0);

 

 

TableCell headerCell = new TableCell();

 

headerCell.Text =

"Department";

 

headerCell.ColumnSpan = 2;

headerItem.Cells.Add(headerCell);

headerCell =

new TableCell();

 

headerCell.Text =

"Employee";

 

headerCell.ColumnSpan = 2;

headerItem.Cells.Add(headerCell);

MyRadGrid.Controls[0].Controls.AddAt(0, headerItem);

}

}

 

 

 

 

I will appreciate if anyone has some inputs to it.

Thanks,
Raju

Hello Richard,

RadGrid already supports that scenario out-of-the-box. Please, check the following online example and upgrade to the new version of the controls:

Hope it helps.

All the best,
