Question

Could someone tell me how to put some html into RadGrid footer? I need to put it not into column footer, but to one for entire grid.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="radGrid" ShowFooter="true" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">             
    <MasterTableView>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Position" HeaderText="Position">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
    <FooterStyle BorderWidth="10px" BorderColor="Red" />
</telerik:RadGrid>

There is no <FooterTemplate> tag for “global” footer, so maybe somebody knows the elegant way to do it?

Answer 1

Yeah, I didn’t see that as an option. The only thing I can think of, which I haven’t verified, is:

• Try to set a column span on the first column’s cell; the RadGrid is essentially a table-based structure, and on itemcreated or itemdatabound, when the row type is a footer, you could try setting the column span on that cell.
• You could try hiding the default footer, and put your own DIV at the bottom of the grid, with your additional contents. You should be able to place a DIV right against the bottom of the grid.
