Align RadioButtonList Labels in Header of Datagrid
I am building a survey application.
One of the question types asks the user to rank the answers in order of importance. (See sample below.)
------------------------
Rate the following in order of importance from 1 (least) to 5 (most).
1 2 3 4 5
o o o o o Cleanliness
o o o o o Friendliness of Staff
o o o o o Appliances Functional
o o o o o Apartment Ready on Time
o o o o o Flexible Move-in Schedule
------------------------
I am dynamically creating a RadioButonList in the datagrid based on how many answers there are for the question.
The .DataTextField is set to an empty string so that the numbers are not repeated for each row in the datagrid.
How can I get the header to dynamically build the text field labels AND align them properly over the radio buttons?
It is the alignment that really has e stumped. I suspect that I could create separate columns with radio buttons on the appropriate label for each. That seems like it would greatly complicate the data validation I need to do (there must be one unique selection for each answer).
Thanks.

Sachi,
Thanks for the idea on how to generate the labels.
My concern is really how to get the datagrid header label for each radio button in the dynamically sized radio button list to line up over the top of each radio button.
Ideally it should look good in multiple browsers.
I may need to resort to having a separate column for each button and use some client side code to make them collectively act like a radio button list (i.e. only one can be selected from the list).

Sorry for the delay in closing this out.
I did end up with a separate column for each Radio Button.
Much better control of the formatting.
