How to change the Header Text of Gridview after Databound?

I have a gridview I bound a DataTable with that Gridview Its dynamic so no hardcode Text in desin.

I tried to change it after Databound and in PreRender of gridview but no Suc开发者_开发百科cess.

Actually there are Underscores('_') in text and I want to Replace it with space.

Below is code

<asp:GridView ID="grdSearchResult" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="True" Width="99%" OnPreRender="grdSearchResult_PreRender"
            OnRowCreated="grdSearchResult_OnRowCreated" OnPageIndexChanging="grdSearchResult_PageIndexChanging">
            <HeaderStyle ForeColor="White" BackColor="#215B8D" />
            <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#F7F7F7" />
            <RowStyle CssClass="gridtext" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
        </asp:GridView>



protected void grdSearchResult_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < grdSearchResult.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
        grdSearchResult.Columns[i].HeaderText = grdSearchResult.Columns[i].HeaderText.Replace("_", "");
    }
}

Can do this with RowDataBound event of GridView

protected void grdSearchResult_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
     {
        for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
        {
            e.Row.Cells[i].Text = e.Row.Cells[i].Text.Replace("_", " ");
        }
     }
}

and it works fine.

You can change the text of the cell rather than the HeaderText property:

        for (int i = 0; i < grdSearchResult.Columns.Count; i++)
        {
            grdSearchResult.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Text = grdSearchResult.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Text.Replace("_", "");
        }

You don't need to do this in PreRender, just after the data has been bound.

Set AutoGenerateColumns property of gridview to false and add BoundFields.

<asp:GridView ID="grdEmployee" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ID" DataField="empNo" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="First Name" DataField="fName" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Last Name" DataField="lName" />
</columns>
</asp:GridView>

But in OnRowDataBound event the original e.Row.Cell[i].Text is not available for altering.

Eg. in the code below the "headerRow" is always empty.

protected void grdSearchResult_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
     {
        for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
        {
            string headerRow = e.Row.Cells[i].Text;
            e.Row.Cells[i].Text = headerRow.Replace("_", " ");
        }
     }
}

If your header is more complex than the other examples (eg. sort buttons) use:

protected void gvMain_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        GridViewRow oRow = e.Row;
        if (oRow.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
        {
            foreach (TableCell oCell in oRow.Cells)
            {
                foreach (var oCtl in oCell.Controls) {
                    if(oCtl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label))
                    {
                        Label oLBL = (Label)oCtl;

                        oLBL.Text = oLBL.Text.Replace("_", "");
                    }
                }
            }
            
        }
    }
