I need to know if its possible to make the text for column headers in a
datagrid to be vertical.

Could this be done in a Listview with View set to Details?

If necessary I could use images if this is feasible?

Does anyone know of a 3rd party control that does this?

Does anyone have any ideas?

All help appreciated.

Mark.

yes, you can use my listview control to do that. You simply have to
subscribe to the BeforeDrawColumn event, make sure the header height
is tall enough, rotate the text vertically and do your drawing.

you can see an example of vertical header drawing with it here

having said that. I believe you can also accomplish this using the
.net listview.
