Binding the header text of a GridView column?

[Hans Merkl]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to bind the header text of a GridView
column to a method of an object I have. At the moment I am setting the
header texts in Page_Load but I was wondering if I can do with databinding.

thanks

Hans,

If you convert the column into a TemplateColumn, you can specify a
HeaderTemplate where you can put any binding code you want. If your object
isn't public or protected, expose a public or protected property of the page
code behind that returns the results of the method call.

Hi Hans,

I think Hans's suggestion on using TemplateField is reasonable. The
build-in fields can not allow inline databinding expression, so we have to
utitlize the templateField which can allow define inline html template for
Header and other Item...

If there're any other questions, please feel free to post here.

Thanks,

This works. Thanks a lot.
