Summary Row Description

[Doug]

I have a read-only grid with two summary rows: Total and Average. The first two columns in the simple example provided in the attached screenshot will not be totaled or averaged. Only the third column will be summarized.

I would like to insert text into the first column of each summary row describing what the value in that row represents ("Total" in the total row and "Average" in the average row). This is also displayed in the attached screenshot.

Is it possible to insert text only into a cell of a summary row without performing any calculations on its associated column?

Hi Doug,

Thank you for writing.

To add only text in the summary row cell, simply remove the {0} from the FormatString parameter of the GridViewSummaryItem. Here is a sample snippet:

GridViewSummaryItem summaryItemShipName = new GridViewSummaryItem("ShipName", "Write Text Here", GridAggregateFunction.Last);

The attached sample project implements the suggestion above to achieve the desired layout. I hope you will find it useful.

Feel free to write back if you have further queries.
