Merge Header or Apply ColumnSpan to Header of GridView In Asp.Net Using C#.Net

2/06/2015 - By Pranav Singh 0

This article will show you how you can merge footer or apply columnspan to header of gridview in asp.net using c#.net. In this we will display header message in a single row of gridview header in a single row.


So for this article first we will create a new asp.net application and add the below code in the page.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.WebForm1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Merge Header or Apply ColumnSpan to Header of GridView In Asp.Net Using C#.Net
    </title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4">
        <tr>
            <td align="left">
                <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" Width="100%"
                    AutoGenerateColumns="False" onrowcreated="GridView1_RowCreated"
                    ShowFooter="True">
                    <Columns>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="This is a header text eample">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'></asp:Label>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                            <FooterStyle Font-Bold="True" />
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:TemplateField>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="lblNamAddress" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Address") %>'></asp:Label>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:TemplateField>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="lblUserType" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("UserType") %>'></asp:Label>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                    </Columns>
                </asp:GridView>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

In above code I have use itemtemplate to bind the gridview fields and used label control to display the value using Eval.

Now check the code to bind and display no of pages.

using System;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Collections;
namespace WebApplication1
{
    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                GetDistinctValue();
            }
        }
        private void GetDistinctValue()
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["con"].ToString());
            try
            {
                DataTable objdt = new DataTable();
                string query = "select * from UserDetail;";
                SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(query, con);
                con.Open();
                da.Fill(objdt);
                con.Close();
                if (objdt.Rows.Count > 0)
                {
                    GridView1.DataSource = objdt;
                    GridView1.DataBind();
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                con.Close();
            }
        }      
        protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count-1; i++)
                {
                    e.Row.Cells.RemoveAt(1);
                }
               e.Row.Cells[0].ColumnSpan = GridView1.Columns.Count;
            }
        }
    }
}

On above code I have used a function to bind the data. Now I have I have added the. Now check the below code to merge the header of the gridview.

protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count-1; i++)
                {
                    e.Row.Cells.RemoveAt(1);
                }
               e.Row.Cells[0].ColumnSpan = GridView1.Columns.Count;
            }
        }

In above code I have validated when the header row is appearing. Now I have applied loop to remove the extra columns to display only one cell in header. Now for merging the header cell ColumnSpan value have been applied.

Now check the normal output without merging header.


Now we have done run the application to check the output.
