I am finding it difficult to handle the leftmose column, it takes the contents but the merge doenot work.
in the 2nd column same setting work so what is happening?

If you want data in 4 ''standard'' (read non header) columns, then you need to set the ColCount = 4. You can then hide the header column, grid.Cols.Hidden[0] = true;.

I will keep this in mind.
instead of hiding them cant I make them behave like inner rows and columns. In particular in column 0 i want a merge effect as i am displaying The question number there.the second column has the question text [multiple lines].

No. Headers play a special role in selections, scrolling etc. If you do not want them, you need to hide them.
