Enable resizing on the column headers by setting the ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode property as follows: this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode = DataGridViewColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode.EnableResizing; 2. Adjust the height for the column headers to make it wide enough for two layers; this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersHeight = this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersHeight * 2; 3. Adjust the text alignment on the column headers to make the text display at the center of the bottom; this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.BottomCenter; 4. Handle the DataGridView.CellPainting event to draw text for each header cell; 5. Handle the DataGridView.Paint event to draw "merged" header cells; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// References: 1.
