You can use something like this:

C#

protected void Grid1_ItemCreated(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header)
    {
        DataGrid grid = sender as DataGrid;
        DataGridItem dgi = new DataGridItem(0, e.Item.DataSetIndex, ListItemType.Header);
        dgi.Cells.Add(new TableCell { ColumnSpan = 2, Text = "Name" });
        dgi.Cells.Add(new TableCell { ColumnSpan = 2, Text = "Date" });
        Table t = grid.Controls[0] as Table;
        t.Rows.AddAt(0, dgi);
    }
}

I don't know exact layout of your grid so you might have to add more cells to match your design.
It would be a bit more complicated if you use auto-generated columns, but the principle is the same.
