Q: datagrid header/footer

[Guest]

Hello,
Is it possible to change a datagrid Header and Footer text in code behind
dynamically?
Thanks,
Jim.

Jim, at ItemDataBound you can get at header and footer, e.g. e.Item.ItemType
= ListItemType.Header. From there I'd use findcontrol to get the controls you
want to modify.

I am quite new in this issue, can you give me example or an web page I can
check?

Jim, some good articles are here:

After you understand the basics, the rest of what you do where depends on a
few things. Come back with a few specifics--for one, are these template
columns, and for two, do you know what you want to change the header/footer
to *before* you load the data in the grid or not till *after*?

Thanks Bill for the reply.
My data grid works fine and I am doing edit/insert/delete kind of
things, that is way I am looking an easiest way to reach the footer of
a column and set a text there.

So I am looking something like
DataGrid1.Footer[ColumnName].Text="myText", is this possible?
