Hey timex1111,

As I went looking for the sample for the screenshot you were mentioning, I ended up finding out that those
screenshots were from our old 2007.1 samples. And so the sample no longer exists...
However!!! (this is a good however!)
I want to help you out so I have re-created the FieldLayouts for that exact sample, to demonstrate how
it can be done!

You can also find a great reference using the link below in case whatever I type is confusing or not correct...

Arranging Fields to Customize your FieldLayout


The first thing you will need to do is to set AutoArrangeCells="Never" and AutoGenerateFields="False" on your FieldLayoutSettings...

<igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AutoArrangeCells="Never" AutoGenerateFields="False"

This next portion of code directly emulates the exact same FieldLayout as seen in that Screenshot,
the only difference is that I used UnboundFields rather than actual "igDP:Field"s just to see if it worked.

<igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
  <igDP:FieldLayout>
   <igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Photo" Row="0" Column="0" RowSpan="3" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Employee Name" Row="0" Column="1"/>
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Title" Row="1" Column="1"/>
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Department" Row="2" Column="1"/>
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Street Address" Row="0" Column="2" ColumnSpan="3" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Apt/Ste Number" Row="1" Column="2" ColumnSpan="3" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="City" Row="2" Column="2" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="State/Province" Row="2" Column="3" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Postal Code" Row="2" Column="4" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="E-mail" Row="0" Column="5" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Home Phone" Row="1" Column="5" />
     <igDP:UnboundField Name="Cell Phone" Row="2" Column="5" />
   </igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
  </igDP:FieldLayout>

As you can see each igDP:UnboundField (convert it into an actual igDP:Field) belongs to a specific Row, and Column,
and can be stretched along the rows or columns using RowSpan="" and ColumnSpan="" to achieve the desired spanning.

Please let me know if this helps you out!

Thanks!
