Edit DataGrid Header

[Mike Smith]

Hey ppl...

I got my datagrid column edited by coding the ItemDataBound event with the
following code:

If e.Item.ItemType=ListItemType.Header Then
e.Item.Cells(6).Text="Rental (USD)"
End if

I find that when i display the grid now, the column headers doesn't have the
hyperlink behavior and therefore i cant sort it. How do i go about adding
the hyperlink behavior ? Why does it go off when you change the header ?

regards,
Mike

What about:
(CType(e.Item.Cells(6).Controls(0),HyperLink)).Text="Rental (USD)"

hey jos...
i tried that code out.. didnt seem to work ... the column retained its
original name itself as RENTAL
it wasnt assigned the new RENTAL (USD) .
Any other suggestions ?
is there a recommended best practice in dealin with datagrids and data ?
Boundcolumns ? guess i have to sit my butt down and do the templates and all
that ?
