Hey guys,
i want to change the header text of the gridview using Design.. from <TemplateField HeaderText="">
i created a variable in code behind which is public and set the value in that variable and then i tried to call that variable over here as below:
<TemplateField HeaderText = '<%= VariableCallHere %>'
but while running page i got <%= VariableCallHere %> as a header text
even i tried changing using gridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[0].Text = "text Here"
(This Throws object reference error)
Any one have any suggestions how this could be achieved..
It should be gridview1.Columns[ColumnIndex].HeaderText = "Header text";
For this, in the RowDataBound event of the gridview control you need
to write as like follows:
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Text = "column 1";
e.Row.Cells[1].Text = "column 2";
.....
}
I'm using it like this for multilingual it works fine NO need of extra work for iterating the rows just put it there and let it do the work
<asp:BoundField DataField="TITLE_NAME" HeaderText="<%$ Resources:Site,lblTitleName %>"
ItemStyle-Width="20%">
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</asp:BoundField>
Access it via the columns collection:
gridview1.Columns[Index].HeaderText= "text Here";
As in:
gridview1.Columns[0].HeaderText= "text Here";
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
Label lblAddInText = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblAddInText");
lblAddInText.Text = "ADD IN TEXT"
}
in RowCreated Event of Gridview. Using and Label in .
