In order to complete this walkthrough, you will need the following:

To set the column on that ColumnSet as a multiline

1. Drag a WebGrid instance into the WebForm.
2. Bind the grid to the DataSource then RetrieveStructure.
3. Create a ColumnSet and set the height to "-1" for the column and including the spanned column where you want the height to be dynamic. Below is the XML generated in the HTML.
   
   

   XML

   Copy Code

   <iswebgrid:WebGridRowLayout width="116" height="-1" colspan="5" Row="2" ColumnMember="Notes" /> <iswebgrid:WebGridRowLayout width="116" height="-1" Spanned="Column" Row="2" Col="1" /> <iswebgrid:WebGridRowLayout width="116" height="-1" Spanned="Column" Row="2" Col="2" /> <iswebgrid:WebGridRowLayout width="116" height="-1" Spanned="Column" Row="2" Col="3" /> <iswebgrid:WebGridRowLayout width="116" height="-1" Spanned="Column" Row="2" Col="4" />

   
   
4. Bind that column to a WebGridColumn and set that column's AllowMultiline to True. Below is the XML generated in the HTML.
