Displaying Two Rows in Each Grid Row

[Neil N]

I have a grid with eight bound columns with headers.  In each row, below these columns, I need to add a bound "comment" field  that spans across all eight columns. Will Card View allow me to do this?  Is there an easier way?

Hello Neil,

A suggestion would be to use the NestedViewTemplate with a label in it, set the HierarchyDefaultExpanded property of the grid to true and then hide the auto-generated GroupExpandColumn. You can refer the code given below to achieve this scenario.
aspx:

<MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" HierarchyDefaultExpanded="true"   >
 <NestedViewTemplate>
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="This is a comment"></asp:Label>
 </NestedViewTemplate>

 <Columns>
   ....
 </Columns>
</MasterTableView>

 
cs: (to hide the GroupExpandColumn)

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column is GridExpandColumn)
        {
            e.Column.Display = false;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Thanks. This worked great except for one cosmetic issue having specifically to do with NestedViewTemplate which I'll create a new thread for.

Hi Neil,

Go through the following help article which explains how to set styles in a Hierarchical Grid.
