hello every one...

I have a gridview in which i am showing taxes added on goods in invoice.

so in database i have tax table in which i have 'taxid' and 'taxname'.

so suppose for invoice no 1 there are two taxes VAT and Service.

so i want to show that taxes names in gridview which i will get from tax table..

Problem is that gridview only takes database column names while binding.

so how can i show one column with two different values..??

i.e.

I want like this

Invoiceno | tax1id | tax1name | tax2id | tax2name
------------------------------------------------------
1 2 VAT 3 SERVICE

2 1 Sales 2 VAT

and i m geting

Invoiceno | tax1id | tax1name | tax2id | tax2name
------------------------------------------------------
1 2 VAT 3 VAT

2 1 Sales 2 Sales

Thanks n regards
Rohit.

The thing is that your table structure itself is wrong. You should normalize the table.

Let's consider that tax items on your goods get increased, in that case, you may have to add another column like tax2id and tax3name.

Rather I'd suggest you to normalize the table structure.
Use table structure like

VB

InvoiceNo | TaxId | TaxName
------------------------------
1 2 VAT 
1 3 SERVICE
2 1 Sales 
2 2 VAT

And while retrieving the data, you can have something called 'Group By' clause.
