RowSpan in Gridview

[Dhileep Kumar Sampath]

Hi All,
        I want to merge two rows if the values are same. I found that asp.net ajax control supports that and the code snippet is given in the thread 'http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/rowspan-in-radgrid.aspx'. The code snippet is also given below;

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int rowIndex = RadGrid1.Items.Count - 2; rowIndex >= 0; rowIndex--)
        {
            GridDataItem row = RadGrid1.Items[rowIndex];
            GridDataItem previousRow = RadGrid1.Items[rowIndex + 1];
            if (row["ColumnUniqueName"].Text == previousRow["ColumnUniqueName"].Text)
            {
                row["ColumnUniqueName"].RowSpan = previousRow["ColumnUniqueName"].RowSpan < 2 ? 2 : previousRow["ColumnUniqueName"].RowSpan + 1;
                previousRow["ColumnUniqueName"].Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }

 I dont see the prerender event in the silverlight radgridview control. So in which event should i do this and is RowSpan property available in gridview column? Can someone please help me on this.

Regards,
Dhileep

Hi Dhileep Kumar Sampath,

Currently we do not support this as an internal feature. However with the help of some visual hacks the same effect may be achieved . I have attached an example for your reference. The approach is similar.

Hi Pavel,
    Thanks for your quick reply. It worked like a charm and I was able to give the visual effect like cells are merged. Currently the row indicator is not having any border. Will it be possible to show the border in the rowindicator also?

Thanks,
Dhileep

Hi Dhileep Kumar Sampath,

I have modified Pavel's project by specifying RowStyle that displays borders in the row indicator. You can further customize the style to fit your needs.

Hello,

Hi there..I would like to ask something..I've tested the mergedverticalcell app..The result will return a merged cell for column FirstName..
Question: I would like to do a merged cell for several columns..By taking the mergedverticalcell app for example, I would like to merged  2 columns..1st column FirstName & 2nd column Last Name..How should I do this?..A solution example should be helpful..

Thanks guy

sorting breaks the merged cells logic.  how to fix it?

Hello Andy,

In this thread a custom solution has been discussed which is not a build-in feature. Those unexpected problems can arise. 
The request for merged cells is logged as a feature Add: merge cells. You can vote for it. We already started working on it so you can track its status.
