I need to dynamically construct a table in code (vb.net) that will
have merged cells.  It should look something like this:

_____________
|                      |  row 1  (contains an image control)
_____________
|     |           |     | row 2  (contains an image control, data,
another image control)
_____________
|                      | row 3   (contains an image control)
_____________
|    |            |    | row 4   (contains an image control, data,
another image control)
_____________

So every other row would appear as a merged cell.  I've tried
specifying the rowspan property of the cell prior to adding to the row
collection, but when I do, it wacks the formatting completely.  I'm
trying to display data with a rounded border around the text similar
to the way the google groups appear.  Any help is appreciated.

You want to set the colspan, not the rowspan.
