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. http://datawebcontrols.com/faqs/CustomizingAppearance/ScrollableDataGridWithFixedHeader.shtml Rick USA ----- Original Message ----- From: RicksPlace To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 11:28 AM Subject: Re: ASP.Net scrollable datagrid, but with static/unmoving column headers 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? Rick USA 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. .

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?
