populating a datagrid from an array

Here is the situation:
I have a datagrid that is being populated from a database, with
anywhere from 1 to 3 columns showing depending on how many serving
sizes are selected. The grid is fixed in column widths. An array is
created to store some information--no problem with this one.

The problem: I want to create another datagrid to be placed directly on
top of this one and formatted the same column widths as the first
datagrid. I want to populate the datagrid with some information from
the array that is associated with the data from the first datagrid. Can
it be done and how? Thanks.

It isn't really clear to me what you need to do, but it sounds like a
hierarchical scenario. If so, you might want to investigate this method of
creating grids within grids:

If I missed the point, perhaps you can explain more fully?
