How to create a Blank row in gridview
In some situations we need to add a blank row between GridView rows. The following program shows how to add a blank row between gridview rows.
Database
In this article I have used Microsoft's Pubs database for sample data. You can download it free from the following link.
DownloadHow to insert blank row in gridview
In this program we retrieve data from Stor table and group it stor_id wise. When displaying this data in the GridView we insert a Blank Row when a stor_id change. For finding stor_id change, program capture each stor_id in the RowDataBound event.
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
storid = Convert.ToInt32(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "stor_id").ToString());
}
}
After capturing stor_id, it evaluate with previous stor_id and check if it is changed or not. If it is a new stor_id then program insert a new row in the RowCreated event. From the following program, you can understand how to insert new row in GridView.
