Merge Datagrid Headings

[kvang]

I have two columns in a datagrid next to each other that I want to merge the headings only (much like what you would do in excels). How would I do this in my VB.NET code?

 

[jmeckley]

use a ControlAdapter to alter the output of the gridview.
or
on the GridViewDataBound event parse the Header

if (MyGridView.HeaderRow != null)
{
   MyGridView.HeaderRow.Cells[x].ColumnSpan = 2;
   MyGridView.HeaderRow.Cells.RemoveAt(x + 1);
}

I'm not sure if this would work or not, but it's worth a shot.
