Hi Sandip,

Your response has pointed me in the right direction!  I've managed to get rid of most of the empty white space by setting the field's settings CellMaxHeight property to Zero.  Unfortunately there's a little bit of space left.  It looks like it's padding between my field row 0 and row 1.  Do you have any idea of how to eliminate (or reduce) that padding white space?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Thanks for the tip Sandip I appreciate the response, but I'm still seeing the extra space allocated for my label field.  I've attached a screenshot below of what I'm seeing, and what I want to get rid of.  For the solution I'm building, I need to construct FieldLayouts programmatically based on the data coming into my grid.  Here's some sample code of what I'm trying to do:

Field curField;
UnboundField curUnField;
DataColumn curCol;
FieldLayout fieldLayoutOnDeck = new Fieldlayout();

//Bump the current set of fields up one row
for (int i = 0; i < viewTable.Columns.Count; i++)
{
    curCol = viewTable.Columns[i];
    curField = new Field
                   {
                        Name = curCol.Caption,
                        Row = 1,
                        Column = i
                   };
    fieldLayoutOnDeck.Fields.Add(curField);
}

//Add the column span headers in the first row
for (int j = 0; j < (viewTable.Columns.Count - 2)/2; j++)
{
    curUnField = new UnboundField
                   {
                       Name = columnNames[j],
                       Row = 0,
                       Column = j*2,
                       ColumnSpan = 2
                    };
    FieldSettings hideFieldSettings = new FieldSettings();
    hideFieldSettings.CellContentAlignment = CellContentAlignment.LabelOnly;
    curUnField.Settings = hideFieldSettings;
    fieldLayoutOnDeck.Fields.Add(curUnField);
}
