Programmaticall y set headertext of a boundfield column

[John Mason]

Hi,

I am trying to find out if there is a way to set the headertext of the
boundfield column belonging to a detailsview control (ASP.NET 2.0), from
code.

<asp:BoundFie ld HtmlEncode="fal se" DataFormatStrin g="{0:###0.00 }"
DataField="wage _cash" HeaderText='<%# Format_Header(" wage1") %>'
SortExpression= "wage_cash" />

The above example doesn't work:
"Databindin g expressions are only supported on objects that have a
DataBinding event."

I would like to set the headertext within the DetailsView_Pre Render sub,
so that the header displays the current financial year.

I'd prefer not to convert the above to a TemplateField column, because
of the formatting used - DataFormatStrin g="{0:###0.00 }"

Any help (with vb.net examples) would be especially appreciated!

Thanks,

John.
