is this a winforms application or a web application? As Mark pointed out,
this layout isn't really conducive with the built in behavior of a datagrid
although there is something you can do.
The essential approach is the same with either winforms or asp.net. Create
a custom control which will be a composite control. One way is to add a
panel, then add a grid to it and then possibly another panel underneath
that. In the second panel, you can use GDI+ to print out the text, or you
can use a Label, textbox or both. Create public properties for the control
that correspond to the summaries. If this is static (i.e. there will only
be two, then you can simply hard code it, otherwise you may want to make it
indexed so you can just add one after each other). I can't tell if the
ItemName section is the aggregate of the above, if so you can use
DataTable.Compute to grab each summary value
(

ASP.NET grid, than you can do essentially the same thing, in the sense that
you are creating a custom control and use an approach such as this
(
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/020503-1.aspx). Either way
though, I think your best bet is creating a custom control and then
depending on the exact behavior you need, just build it into the control.
If this is a one time thing, then it will be very straightforward, and if
not, it will just take a little more forethought in respect to what you
might need it for in the future.
HTH,
