Data Grid Display Issues

[J. Babe]

In my ASP.NET project I am creating an invoice. I add the items in my
invoice to a datagrid (I'll call it dg). However, I am having some
display issues. The following line should write "Total" in the footer,
but nothing appears, I'm wondering why

dg.Columns(2).FooterText = "Total"

I also can't make a border appear in the header of the table

dg.HeaderStyle.BorderColor = Drawing.Color.Black
dg.HeaderStyle.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Ridge
dg.HeaderStyle.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(20)

And i can't make the first row in the grid blank, if I add a blank row
to the DataTable that is the Datagrid's source, the first row in the
datatable still contains information.
