multiline column header in DataGrid

How do I define multiline column header in DataGrid control?
I need two-line headers for some columns.

Thank you

Any cell in a Datagrid (which is an HTML table when presented client side)
wraps text to as many lines as required to fit by default.

When you say multiline, is this what you mean, or are you refering to having
two fields in one column?

Dan,

I mean Windows Forms Datagrid control, not Web DataGrid.

Have you tried putting a new line character (\r\n) into the header?

string columnHeader1 = "First Line\r\nSecond Line";

Yes I have. It didn't work: Second Line becomes invisible, and header's
height remains the same, with room for one line only.

Hi, I am using my code to set column widths of datagrid columns dynamically, but when I am setting the column widths to zero, the header text of the column whose width is made to zero is appearing on the existing column headers, and the text gets blurred with the painting of the column text along with the adjacent width 0 column. Anybody, can you please give me a solution for it

Hey, thanks in advance for helping me out with my problem: I have a datagrid which is embedded in another datagrid. The datagrid is filled directly by a dataset generated from a sql query. So far everything is fine. Now i try to format the embedded datagrid - e.g. setting font size and the column size/width of each column. Everything is working fine, except the width of the columns.

I just wrote code to support sortable columns in a datagrid. It seems to work fine; but, it doesn't look right. The problem is that I have a generic style for links and a different style for the header row - and they conflict. The sortable column apparently uses the generic style for <a> elements and the rest of the header uses "headerRow". Can anyone tell me how to get consistent styles for each column in my datagrid header?

I have a sample of an unbound (autogeneratecolumns is true) sortable/pagable datagrid that works. I want to change one of the columns to a hyperlink. The examples I find use a bound column. I can get this to work; however, the column header on the datagrid is not a link/sortable. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
