Hi: Have you looked into the ListView and, or, the FormView controls?
I remember having done this but don't remember exactly what I did. It should be 
a very common senario so I am guessing there are Google articles on how to do 
this using the various ASP controls. 
What have you looked at so far to accomplish this? 
Are you familiar with Panel controls and Templated Controls and their use?
Which version of VWD or Visual Sytudio are you working with?

columns in another panel. Then you should be able to set the ccolumn content to 
scroll without impacting the headings. At least that would be my first thought. 
I remember reading up on this situation some time back and had found and 
implemented solutions but I forget exactly what I did. Since I never worked 
with the DataGrid I am guessing I found what I needed using other controls like 
the panelcontrol, the ListView and, or FormView controls since I have used them 
off and on in my ASP Pages. .

  Subject: ASP.Net scrollable datagrid, but with static/unmoving column headers


  Don't think there are too many guys involved in/looking into ASP.Net on VI 
programming lists, but specifically, at the moment, trying to figure out how to 
implement static/unmoving column headers for an ASP.Net datagrid, with the 
specific issue being that since there are quite a few datarows being rendered 
in a datagrid, they want the column headers to stay static/floating above the 
then scrollable columns of data, and was just wondering if anyone had ideas off 
hand.

  My own would be to in fact implement a static HTML table above the datagrid, 
with the column headers in it, and then implement the datagrid in something 
like either an inline frame, or a normal frame to allow the browser to scroll 
up and down inside it, while still seeing the column headers above, but the 
primary issue so far is I don't seem to be able to query/find a rendition of 
the column widths etc. from the datagrid control, but have otherwise been 
thinking about in fact chucking out the datagrid control as such, and just 
something closer to older, classic ASP to in fact just render the HTML output 
version of something like this, and would then just base the column widths on 
something like a certain number of pixels/points per letter of the column name, 
and would then use something closer to the classic ASP/PHP outputting of the 
data table inside another frame or something.

  Thoughts/examples/suggestions?

  Stay well
