Blank row, every other row in data grid
Hmmm, here's a tricky one... How can I programatically add a blank datagrid row, every other row, to a bound data grid? Here's what I want to accomplish... I want the odd rows to be a master record, and then the even rows to contain another datagrid with details. I've seen all the posts and how-tos about nesting data grids, but quite honestly, it looks like crapp and it wastes screen real estate. My plan is to colspan the even rows so that the data grid fits nicely in there. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Richard

Do you require sorting and paging? If not, you could use the DataList, and put an html table in each row. Something like this
<asp:DataList id="dl1" runat="server" . . .>
<HeaderTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>column1</td>
<td>column2</td>
. . .
</tr>
</table>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td><%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"column1")%></td>
<td><%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"column2")%></td>
. . .
</tr>
<tr>
<td><asp:Textbox id="txt1" runat="server" /></td>
<td><asp:Textbox id="txt2" runat="server" /></td>
. . .
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
The hard part is making sure the header table width matches the item table width. Hope this helps.

Thanks Darren. Unfortunately, I do need to have paging and sorting, and thus the need for the datagrid. I would have done it with a server side table and just manually populate the cells with the data, but then I'd have to manually page and sort, and that just really defeats the purpose.
Any other ideas out there?

Other suggestion:
Why not have a datagrid with a singel column in which you build your own layout by using a table.
I know it's a bit more work for building the column template but as shuch you have full control of the layout for each line.
The population of the child datagrid you can handle in DataGrid_DataItemBound().
Don't forget to name all the controls with a proper name so they are easy accessible in your code.

By George, I think that'll work! Sometimes it's the easy solutions that are overlooked!!!

Actually, now that I've sat down to do this, it's not a very great solution. It totally hoses up my column sorting... Any other ideas out there?

Okay, I think I'm on to something here... I added this code in the ItemCreated event for the data grid. Only problem is is that it puts my "detail" row BEFORE my "master" row - can't figure out how to put each row AFTER my "master" row.
public void dgGrid_ItemCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
{
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItem dgRow = new DataGridItem(e.Item.ItemIndex+1, 1, ListItemType.Item);
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell dgCell1 = new TableCell();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell dgCell2 = new TableCell();
dgCell1.Text="Row # " + e.Item.ItemIndex.ToString();
dgCell2.ColumnSpan=5;
dgCell2.Text="COOL!";
dgRow.Cells.Add(dgCell1);
dgRow.Cells.Add(dgCell2);
dgFiles.Controls[0].Controls.AddAt(e.Item.ItemIndex, dgRow);
}
}
}

Wouldn't you know it - no sooner did I post that last message and I found the key. For all ye in search of the same knowledge, here's how I solved it...
In the ItemDataBound event of the datagrid, I add the following code:
if (e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItem dgRow = new DataGridItem(e.Item.ItemIndex+1, 1, ListItemType.Item);
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell dgCell1 = new TableCell();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell dgCell2 = new TableCell();
dgCell1.Text="Row # " + e.Item.ItemIndex.ToString();
dgCell2.ColumnSpan=5;
dgCell2.Text="COOL!";
dgRow.Cells.Add(dgCell1);
dgRow.Cells.Add(dgCell2);
dgFiles.Controls[0].Controls.Add(dgRow);
}
(Also note that I posted the incorrect code in the previous post. It should have actually been the code block above, just in the ItemCreated event - sorry for any confusion)...
Problemo SOLVED!!!!

Could make a drawing of what you would like to have on the datagrid?
just 1 row + 1 detail row
