for years now i have asking for this functionality that if it is possible to create something like mutiple physical rows for single line of data source. becuase during development you come across a situation where data in data source is to large to show customers.
We need to create a multiple line header for grid and similar layout is required in line items. i-e a single line item can be consists of multiple physical lines. If that is possible please let me know how to create it. i am attaching a sample excel file for the desired layout. other 3rd party controls have this feature like here.

Thanks for the update mike however the suggestion does not work as requested, i know how to create multi row header in classic infgragitics grids, and i have searched on forums about how to create them. But the concept here is the concept of multi row column sets, where a row of the data sources is split in a way that i display on several grid rows to show one record of the data source.
as far as i remember none of the infragistics grids either akido or the classic serves the purpose.
Hello Muhammad,
Thank you for submitting your request to the Infragistics ASP.Net Forums. In regards to your inquiry, which Infragistics ASP grid are you referring to, the classic ASP UltraWebGrid or the Aikido WebDataGrid?
The classic UltraWebGrid does have Multi-Row Column Headers functionality as explained here in the following link to the Infragistics Online Help for NetAdvantage ASP.NET where information on how to set-up and use Multi-Column Headers for the UltraWebGrid may be found:
<http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/Current/CLR4.0/?page=WebGrid_Using_a_Multi_Column_Header.html>
In regards to the Aikido WebDataGrid, Multi-Column Headers is still in the works as this functionality has yet to be automated for the WebDataGrid. The following forum post contains information and a sample created by one of our Developers on how to implement Multi-Column Header behavior for the WebDataGrid using custom code:

Please let me know if this information is helpful or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
