DetailsView HeaderTemplate

[David C]

I have a DetailsView with Templates inside the Fields tag. I would like my
separate HeaderTemplate to span both columns of the DetailsView. is there
an easy way to do this? below is a sample HeaderTemplate for my page.
Thanks.

<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<br />
<asp:Label ID="Header1" runat="server" Text="1.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AT THIS LOCATION:" Font-Bold="True"
Font-Size="Larger"></asp:Label>
<hr />
</HeaderTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
