how to get the column names from the gridview

[Pradeep]

hi,
im having a very peculiar problem. I populate the gridview based on the
result of a query, and the gridview shows the rows that are returned by
the query.
now if i give gridview1.rows.count i get exactly the no of rows in the
gridview but when i give gridview1.columns.count i always get it as 0
despite columns being present in the gridview. Does anyone know y this
happens ?
Also, i want to get the column names say like age, name, address etc
from the gridview..how can i do this ?? will
gridview1.columns[i].headertext do the job?? (i being an index
variable)
bye

In a DataSet, you have access to rows and columns in the manner you
prescribe. When you paint on the page, the cells/columns (TDs) are inside
the rows (TRs), as items are ultimately "painted:" as HTML tables. Try
looking at the cell collection of the header row.
