Hi there, I need to configure a grid that has three columns (User, Date, Notes).

I need the User and Date columns to display in the row as normal, but I need the Notes to display underneath the User and Date. Here is a crude drawing of what I need:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| User                                                | Date                             |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| The notes go here in this space.                                           |
|                                                                                               |
|                                                                                               |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| User                                                | Date                             |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| The notes go here in this space.                                           |
|                                                                                               |
|                                                                                               |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
etc...

Does this make sense? I am new to Telerik (in the trial) and have no idea of how to go about this, or even if it is possible.

Can someone help me?

Cheers!

Hello Keith,

One suggestion is by using table structure in ItemTemplate of GridTemplateColumn in order to customize the appearance as required.

aspx:

    
               . . . 
        
            <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"> 
        
                    <Columns> 
        
                        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplColumn" HeaderText="Approved Status"> 
        
                            <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                <table width="100%"> 
        
                                    <tr> 
        
                                        <td> 
        
                                            <%# Eval("User") %> 
        
                                        </td> 
        
                                        <td> 
        
                                            <%# Eval("Date")%> 
        
                                        </td> 
        
                                    </tr> 
        
                                    <tr> 
        
                                        <td> 
        
                                            <%# Eval("Notes")%> 
        
                                        </td> 
        
                                    </tr> 
        
                                </table> 
        
                            </ItemTemplate> 
        
                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn> 
        
                    </Columns> 
        
            </MasterTableView> 
        
               . . .
