This seems exactly what they'd want - thanks.

Seems my problem, when searching was that searched for words like static, 
instead of fixed - thanks for correction.

Stay well

  Here is one article on an older solution. There are tons of articles on this 
exact subject. This is not what I remember doing, it sort of is what you were 
describing in your original post as a sludge hammer solution but it might be 
the most familiar solution to you from what you were talking about so I am 
posting the URL.

    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. .

      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
