Getting error adding an extra header to datagrid

[AMD Desktop]

Hi,

I need to add a header to a datagrid.
This is the code I am trying to use:

Dim dgStaffingReport As New DataGrid
Dim dgitem As New DataGridItem(0, 0, ListItemType.Header)
Dim mycell As New TableCell()

mycell.ColumnSpan = 2
mycell.Text = "Staff"
dgitem.Cells.Add(mycell)
dgStaffingReport.Controls(0).Controls.AddAt(0, dgitem)

And this is the error I am getting (index of the AddAt method, pretty
standard...):
Exception Details: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument
was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: index

Source Error:

Line 175: mycell.Text = "This Is the top level header item spanning two
columns!"
Line 176: dgitem.Cells.Add(mycell)
Line 177: dgStaffingReport.Controls(0).Controls.AddAt(0, dgitem)
Line 178:
Line 179:

Any idea why. Can anyone help?

Thank you

The datagrid doesn't support adding another header.
However, you can fake it with the techniques outlined here:

Is there any way to add a header? I can not use this method because this
datagrid is not for display, I export it into excel.

The datagrid does not support it.
You might look into using the table control instead. It doesn't have as
much functionality, but it also doesn't have as many limitations.
