How can I make a datagrid column into a single row that spans all the
other columns?
In this case I have a comment field that I want to make as wide as the
table but I cannot figure out how to tell asp.net datagrid that I want
a new row.

I am using visual studio 2005,

Thanks to anybody who has tried this and has a solution

You may look at using a repeater with 2 rows in the itemtemplate. Something
like this:

<asp:repeater>
<headertemplate>
<table>
</headertemplate>
<itemtemplate>
<tr runat="server" id="trNormal">
<td>Databind expression for column 1</td>
<td>Databind expression for column 2</td>
<td>Databind expression for column 3</td>
</tr>
<tr runat="server" id="trComment">
<td columnspan=3>Databind expression for comment</td>
</tr>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:repeater>
<footertemplate>
</table>
</footertemplate>

and handle ItemDataBound event to hide trNormal or trComment as needed.
