Ho un esempio fatto col GridView. Non so a che serva, ma se si vogliono unire colonne, credo che funzioni.
codice:
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
Select Case e.Row.RowType
Case DataControlRowType.Header
Dim tcc As TableCellCollection = e.Row.Cells
Dim nTotalCols As Integer = tcc.Count
For i As Integer = nTotalCols - 1 To 1 Step -1
e.Row.Cells.RemoveAt(i)
Next
Dim c As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(0)
c.ColumnSpan = nTotalCols
c.Text = "Id regione e nome regione"
Case DataControlRowType.DataRow
Dim tcc As TableCellCollection = e.Row.Cells
Dim nTotalCols As Integer = tcc.Count
For i As Integer = nTotalCols - 1 To 1 Step -1
e.Row.Cells.RemoveAt(i)
Next
Dim c As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(0)
c.ColumnSpan = nTotalCols
Dim dr As System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord = DirectCast(e.Row.DataItem(), System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord)
c.Text = "Id regione = " & dr(0).ToString() & ", Nome regione = " & dr(1).ToString()
End Select
End Sub
