Hi Experts,
In a Gridview let's say I have columns [ID, Name, Grade, Age, Notes]
Notes field is a big one, a lot of information.
I want to display Notes field as a row. Is it possible to do it?
so it will be something like this [ID, Name, Grade, Age]
and underneath [Notes]

Please advise

Thank you
Samira

That sort of layout is tricky to accomplish with a GridView, but almost trivial to do with a ListView[^]. :)

HTML

<asp:ListView id="GradeList" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
    <table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col">ID</th>
            <th scope="col">Name</th>
            <th scope="col">Grade</th>
            <th scope="col">Age</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />
    </tbody>
    </table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
    <tr>
        <th scope="row">
            <asp:Literal runat="server" Mode="Encode"
                Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>'
            />
        </th>
        <td>
            <asp:Literal runat="server" Mode="Encode"
                Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'
            />
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:Literal runat="server" Mode="Encode"
                Text='<%# Eval("Grade") %>'
            />
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:Literal runat="server" Mode="Encode"
                Text='<%# Eval("Age") %>'
            />
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="4">
            <asp:Literal runat="server" Mode="Encode"
                Text='<%# Eval("Notes") %>'
            />
        </td>
    </tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
