  quick question on Datagrid Column

  Aug 07, 2003 08:27 AM|LINK

  Hi All! Just a quick one how do I display two columns from my db into one column on the Datagrid. Eg First Name and Last Name under User header (I'm using <asp:BoundColumn DataField etc) a quick reply would be great! Thanks :)

  Hello, the best way I know for displaying custom fields in a datagrid is to convert the column that you want modified into a Template Column. Then, you can apply a template to the data that gets bound to that column. For instance, in the case of concatenating the first and last name, you could do something like this:

  <asp:Label Runat="server" ID="lblName" Text='

  This should allow you to bind the data to the datagrid and display the first name and last name in the same column. As far as i know it is not possible with but if it´s possible i would like to know how... HTH,
