Is it possible to add a second header row to a dataGrid View?

I am sorry, but I don't understand "Does not allow me to load data into the dataGridView".
 
As for how I found it, I looked in the MSDN documentation. It sometimes takes time but when I did I found other stuff that would also be useful. It helps to take time to look at the documentation.

Sam:
 
The line: dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = "CHARACTER\r\nMAXIMUM\r\nLENGTH";
Does not allow me to load data into the dataGridView. Strange.
 
BTW: How did you find the object:dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.WrapMode
 
Did you just knwo it or did you surf like crazy or is it in a book you have?
 
 
The only way I would of been able was to look at all the options/functions... and there is like 400 of them...

In the form constructor add:
 

dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;

 
Then you can change header text in a manner such as the following and you get a new line for each "\r\n".
 

dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = "CHARACTER\r\nMAXIMUM\r\nLENGTH";

BTW: Off this subject:
 
Have you ever looked at PebbleReports. I think its a pretty cool tool. Check it out at www.PebbleReports.com
I really like it. Now I have to figure out how to use the *.rdl file in the VS2008 project.

I have finally got back to this issue. I am jumping around like crazy.
BTW: How are the quakes?
YES, you are right. I need it for a DataGridView. reading other articles on the web, I was getting confused about GridView and DataGridView. I thought at times they where the same but then at times I thought they where different.
Yes, a header (column header)  for individual columns.
 
Reason is: Some columns headers are to long like "CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH". I would like to parse them to "CHARACTER", "MAXIMUM", "LENGTH". The put them on a separate row/header for the column.
 
 

All you've gotta do is get control of the gridview table and at 0 add a new row. And do take care of doing this after databinding....

Thanks... I looked at it. I am not sure on how to implement it, but it looks like what I need. I will play with it and get it to work for me. Thanks.
