Bonnie,
Yes I did. But, the solution came to me in the middle of the night (I know, I am losing it <g>), I remembered when you posted another solution to me on how to created a calculated field. I got up at 5:30 am this morning, found that solution message and implemented it. So actually it was you who helped me.

>>You are correct, of course. I had to use your suggestion no 2), creating a calculated field. Thank you very much for your help.

>>>No problem with your syntax Dmitry ... you just can't do it this way. You have two choices:
>>>
>>>1) Concatenate the two columns into a third column in your Select when getting the data from the backend.
>>>
>>>2) Use an expression to create the third calculated column:
>>>
>>>this.oData.Columns.Add("MyConcatField");
>>>this.oData.Columns["MyConcatField"].Expression = "MyField1 + MyField2";
