GridDataboundGrid - Merge duplicate cells

[Iain Jolly]

Hi,

I have duplicate row values within a column of my databound grid. How do I merge these cells.

Thanks

Hi,

thanks - this worked well. Is there any way that I can set the merged rows to a different color?

Thanks

Hi Iain,
You can set the backcolor in PrepareViewStyleInfo.

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if(e.ColIndex == 2)
{
if(e.RowIndex == 6)
  e.Style.BackColor = Color.Pink;
else if(e.RowIndex == 11)
  e.Style.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
}
}

Best regards,
Jay N
