Merging all the columns of a table fed radGRid

[Sammy78]

Hi,
I feed data to my radGrid with a datatable that is generated dynamically. I'm trying to figure out how to merge all the columns (I have 4 if it helps any) if the object received (from the loop) has a specific value in one of it's properties.

I know I'm not too clear here, so here's a little analogy. The object that I use to build the datatable is a list of category of  ingredients (vegetable, meats, etc.). Each row has different stats and whatnot. When I got to, let's say "Dairy", I need to merge all the cells in the row so that I can add a user control in it.

If anyone can help, that would be great.

Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,

How to span any given cell over a number of rows/columns, with autogenerated columns in the control is demonstrated in the code library below:

You may also be interested in examining the resources below which explain how to model the look and feel of GridTemplateColumns:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/columntypes/defaultcs.aspx (See the last column in the grid)

I hope this gets you started properly.

Kind regards,

It worked great! I was able to create a solution based on the example.

Thank you very much!
