Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.

Object Type	Path to AllowCellMerge
GridViewDataColumn	.Settings .AllowCellMerge

Remarks

Set the AllowCellMerge property to true, to allow a grid to automatically merge adjacent cells with the same values in the current column. If the AllowCellMerge property is set to Default, the column’s behavior is controlled by the ASPxGridView’s ASPxGridViewBehaviorSettings.AllowCellMerge property.

Note

If the AllowCellMerge property is set to true, the GridViewStyles.AlternatingRow property is not in effect.
