Yeah...The DataGridView is not like the web control grid. I've never found a very elegant way to do this. What I did was basically create a label and put it over the top of the column headers of the columns I wanted to "merge". It requires either a re-sizing method or that you've set the column sizes to a constant size. And then formatting the grid and label to look nicer. If you find a better way, please let me know.
