You can handle this with javascript/jQuery. The gridview itself has nothing to do with this.

If I was going to build what he has just by looking at it I would create the table dynamically. This way you could use a string builder and insert variable names in between each td tag. You retrieve all your data from the database and store in a List or even better use LINQ to SQL.

I wish I could give you a sample in VB, but here is an example of what I'm talking about.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    StoreDataContext db = new StoreDataContext();
    var join = from b in db.Brands      
               select new
               {
                   Brand = b,

                   c = b.Description.Length < 204 ? b.Description : b.Description.Substring(0, 204) + "...",
                   Sources = 
                        from s in db.Sources
                        join xref in db.Brands_Sources on s.SourceID equals xref.SourceID
                        where xref.BrandID == b.BrandID
                        select s       
               };
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    sb.Append( "");
    sb.Append( "");

    foreach (var result in join)
    {
        string chk = (result.Brand.Active ? "checked='checked'" : "");
        sb.AppendFormat( "" +
                "", chk, result.Brand.Image, result.Brand.Name, result.c,result.Brand.BrandID);
        sb.Append("");
        sb.AppendFormat("", date, mod);
    }
    sb.Append("
Active
Image
Name
Short Description
Source
Date Created
Data Modified
{2}
{3}
");
            foreach (var q in result.Sources)
            {
                string srcname = (q.Source1=="Motovicity" ? "Motovicity":"Direct");
                sb.AppendFormat("", q.Image,srcname);
            }
            string date = string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yy}", result.Brand.DateCreated);
            string mod = string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yy}", result.Brand.DateModified);

        sb.Append("
{0}
{1}
");
    resultSpan.InnerHtml = sb.ToString();
}

As you can see I code the html for a checkbox and insert the brand id into the value attribute.
