How to draw a custom DataGridView multi-column header

Question

I've done this with and asp.net grid view and header templates and I need to port this same concept over to my winform application. I'm trying to find a way to have a cell or label span the width of several sub-headers. There are third party controls that do this but buying one is not an option at this time.

Here is an example of the web version I made: alt text

DataGridView doesn't have built in support for column spanning. You might be able to hack something together by deriving your own Cell and Column types. The cust DataGridViewCell would be a single row datagrid.

To accomplish this kind of asp.net like templating you almost always have to drop down into some sort of owner-draw/custom drawing solution in WinForms.
