Dynamic Grid Formatting

Hi Chris, Here is a sample demonstarting some of the features you are seeking. DUnzip it to the ..\Essential Suite\Web\Grid.Grouping.Web\Samples\CustomSectionInGroup folder and remember to set the vb directory as a virtual directory in IIS. (Take a look at the CustomSectionInGroup.vbproj.webinfo to see how to set it up.) With reference to your questions: - create the grid with multiple header rows. >> This is currently not possible. - place a summary row beneath the header row(s) rather than at the bottom of the grid. >> This is demonstrated in the sample. Take a look at the derived GridControl in the CustomEngine.vb file. Note how the various sections are set up in the OnInitializeSections override. - freeze the first column. >> This is currently not possible. - make alternate rows bold. >> This is discussed in this Knowledgebase Article and also demonstrated in the sample. - create filter bars on columns This is discussed in this Knowledgebase Article and demonstrated in the sample using code. Regards Arun

Hi Arun Thanks for your prompt reply. Presumably the functionality I require - freeze column etc - is available in the Essential Grid for ASP.NET?

Chris, The freeze column functionality is not yet available in the ASP.Net Grouping Grid. But, it is available in our Windows Forms Grouping Grid. Regards, Praveen
