This short guide shows how to hide (collapse) the header row in the Syncfusion .NET MAUI DataGrid (SfDataGrid) by setting the HeaderRowHeight property. The sample project in this repository demonstrates the technique; see the MainPage.xaml sample for a minimal implementation.

To learn more about these features, check out the official user guide topics:

XAML

Set the header row height to 0 in XAML to collapse the header row visually. The snippet below is taken from the sample MainPage.xaml in this repo and demonstrates the exact property to change:

<ContentPage.BindingContext>
    <local:ViewModel x:Name="ViewModel"></local:ViewModel>
</ContentPage.BindingContext>

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="dataGrid"
                        HeaderGridLinesVisibility="Both" 
                        GridLinesVisibility="Both"
                        HeaderRowHeight="0" 
                        ItemsSource="{Binding OrderInfoCollection}">
</syncfusion:SfDataGrid>

How it works

  • The SfDataGrid.HeaderRowHeight property controls the height of the header row. Setting it to 0 instructs the control to collapse the header row so it does not occupy any vertical space in the rendered UI.
  • Grid line visibility properties such as HeaderGridLinesVisibility and GridLinesVisibility are independent and control whether grid lines are drawn for header/body cells.
  • Hiding the header can be useful for very compact presentations or when column headers are redundant (for example, when using labeled UI or tooltips elsewhere).
