Change header text of columns in a GridView

Question

I have a GridView which i programmatically bind using c  code  The problem is  the columns get their header texts directly from Database  which can look odd when presented on websites  So basically  i would like to modify the column header text  but programmatically  i have already tried the following    testGV Columns 0  HeaderText    Date     and  this testGV Columns 0  HeaderText    Date     does not seem to give me correct result

You should do that in GridView s RowDataBound event which is triggered for every GridViewRow after it was databound   protected void GridView1 RowDataBound object sender  GridViewRowEventArgs e        if  e Row RowType    DataControlRowType Header                e Row Cells 0  Text    Date             or you can set AutogenerateColumns to false and add the columns declaratively on aspx    lt asp gridview id  GridView1     onrowdatabound  GridView1 RowDataBound    autogeneratecolumns  False    emptydatatext  No data available       runat  server  gt       lt Columns gt            lt asp BoundField DataField  DateField  HeaderText  Date               SortExpression  DateField    gt       lt  Columns gt   lt  asp gridview gt

Better to find cells from gridview instead of static fix index so it will not generate any problem whenever you will add remove any columns on gridview   ASPX    lt asp GridView ID  GridView1  OnRowDataBound  GridView1 RowDataBound   gt       lt Columns gt           lt asp BoundField HeaderText  Date  DataField  CreatedDate    gt       lt  Columns gt   lt  asp GridView gt    CS   protected void GridView1 RowDataBound object sender  GridViewRowEventArgs e        if  e Row RowType    DataControlRowType Header                for  int i   0  i  lt  e Row Cells Count  i                          if  string Compare e Row Cells i  Text   Date   true     0                                e Row Cells i  Text    Created Date

On your asp net page add the gridview   lt asp GridView ID  GridView1  onrowdatabound  GridView1 RowDataBound   gt   lt  asp GridView gt    Create a method protected void method in your c  class called GridView1 RowDataBound  as  protected void GridView1 RowDataBound object sender  GridViewRowEventArgs e        if  e Row RowType    DataControlRowType Header                e Row Cells 0  Text    HeaderText             Everything should be working fine
