Go Directly To User Detail on SFDC

My wife works as a Salesforce Administrator. When Chatter launched she very quickly became annoyed with the new Chatter profile page that appeared when you clicked on a user’s name.

She wanted to go to the User Details page instead as this is where all the Admin gets done. She realised that to go to the User Details page all you needed to do was append noredirect=1 to the end of the Url.

I decided to develop a Chrome Extension to do this automatically for all User Profile links (i.e. Id’s that Start with 005).

Anyway last week I after using jQuery for a while (for those who don’t know jQuery is awesome, take the time to try it) I had a brilliant idea. After numerous previous attempts at building nested ASP.Net GridViews I thought hang on a minute, once a gridview has been rendered it is normal HTML. Thus its a table with rows(<tr>) and columns(<td>), so all I need to do is somehow get a empty row after every row to act as a place holder(<div></div>) for the nested grid.

RowDataBound

I did a couple of Google searches and found weird and wonderful ways to implement the empty rows but most of them were far to complex for what I needed. Then I found a post (sorry I cant remember the source) with the following code for the RowDataBound event:

Protected Sub GridView_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
  If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
