Hi folks.
I need a data grid in wpf with 10 cells.
But the first 3 columns be in first cell in vertical order. And ofcourse the font size will be less.
So what you will see in monitor is a row with 7 columns but the first column have 3 cells vertically.
I made a sample of what I need in excel. Please see the attachment.

I can't use your link, but I think you'll have to build a custom control - probably a combination of a 1 by 3 datagrid next to a 1 by 7 datagrid. Trying to populate it will be fun.

Correct.

DataGrid is too "abstract" (in this case); and used mainly for "variable" rows and colums. You know what you have (3x7): use a "Grid" (Panel); WrapPanel or UniformGrid. (Or combinations of StackPanels; oriented horizontally or vertically). Or all of the above ... except DataGrid.

Guys!
I do not need a 3x7 grid. I need a 1x10 grid, which the first 3 cells would be vertical.

(After looking at your picture ...) Use a "DataGridTemplateColumn" to define a "stack" for the first cell. See the "Publish Date" in the example.

Thanks Gerry Schmitz.
But it is not what I want. I do not want to change the designing of first cell.
I do not need a 3x7 DataGrid.
What I need is a 1x10 DataGrid, but just the first 3 columns, shows in vertical way.

Why not? It is how I would do it. It is a custom cell.
