Asp.net Column placement to next row in gridview

Question

Is it possible to move a column to the next row in a gridview somehow?

Like this:

This really is the best way to explain what i'm trying to do.
here's some code for you nice fellows.

ASP.NET

<asp:GridView 
                runat="server" 
                ID="Notifications" 
                CssClass="Notifications" 
                PageSize="30" 
                AllowPaging="true" 
                AutoGenerateColumns="false" 
                ShowHeader="false" 
                OnRowCreated="Notifications_RowCreated">
            <RowStyle CssClass="TableRow" />
            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Image ID="IMG_Seen" runat="server" AlternateText="Error" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("cSeen") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Image ID="IMG_Status" runat="server" AlternateText="Error" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("cStatus") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="L_Title" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("cTitle") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>                    
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="L_Date" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("cDate") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="L_Description" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("cDescription") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="lLB_inkTo" runat="server" PostBackUrl='<%# Eval("clinkto") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>   
            </asp:GridView>

C# -Gridview bind method

void Init_Notifications(XDocument xDoc) 
    {
        GridView GV = Notifications;           
        var Root = from p in xDoc.Descendants("User") select p;
        var getNotify = from n in Root.Descendants("Notifications") select n;
        foreach (XElement xe in getNotify.Nodes()) 
        {
            NotifList.Add(new Notification(
                xe.Attribute("ID").Value,
                xe.Attribute("Status").Value,
                xe.Attribute("Title").Value,
                xe.Attribute("Seen").Value,
                xe.Attribute("linkTo").Value,
                xe.Element("Description").Value
                )
            );
        }
        DataTable DT = new DataTable();
        DT.Columns.Add("cDate", typeof(System.String));
        DT.Columns.Add("cStatus", typeof(System.String));
        DT.Columns.Add("cTitle", typeof(System.String));
        DT.Columns.Add("cSeen", typeof(System.String));
        DT.Columns.Add("cDescription", typeof(System.String));
        DT.Columns.Add("clinkTo", typeof(System.String));
        foreach (Notification n in NotifList)
        {
            object[] RowContent = 
            {
                n.pDate,
                n.pStatus,
                n.pTitle,
                n.pSeen,                    
                n.pDescription,
                n.pLinkTo
            };
            DT.Rows.Add(RowContent);
        }
        Notifications.DataSource = DT;
        Notifications.DataBind();
    }

Im basically trying to somehow convert / move this into a new row via codebehind or aspx code.
I couldn't get this to look great using CSS as well

Answer 1

Yes that is certainly possible =) You can achieve this by rendering the gridview column as a new table row on your aspx page. Just add a template field in your gridview & include tr, td tags like this

<asp:TemplateField>
                 <ItemTemplate>
                        <tr>
                            <td colspan="100%">
                                <!-- Insert your label, boundfield controls etc -->
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                 </ItemTemplate>
 </asp:TemplateField>
