Asp.net change gridview header text dynamically at runtime

Apr 7, 2012
Introduction:

In this article I will explain how to change gridview header dynamically at runtime using asp.net


Description:
  
In previous posts I explained many articles relating to Asp.net and Gridview. Now I will explain another article relating to Gridview. During working in one of my application I got one requirement like change gridview header dynamically whenever we click on some button.
To implement this first design table in your database and give name as UserInformantion

Column Name
Data Type
Allow Nulls
UserId
int(set identity property=true)
No
UserName
varchar(50)
Yes
LastName
varchar(50)
Yes
Location
varchar(50)
Yes
After completion of table enter some dummy data to bind that one to gridview after that create new website and design your aspx page like this


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Change Gridview Header Dynamically at runtime in asp.net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Button ID="btnChange" Text="Change Header Text" runat="server" onclick="btnChange_Click" />
<asp:GridView ID="gvUserInfo" runat="server">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
After completion of aspx page design add the following namespaces in code behind

C# Code


using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
After that write the following code in code behind


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridview();
}
}
// This method is used to bind gridview from database
protected void BindGridview()
{
SqlConnection con=new SqlConnection("Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB");
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd=new SqlCommand("select TOP 10 UserName,LastName,Location from UserInformation",con);
SqlDataAdapter da=new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds=new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
gvUserInfo.DataSource = ds;
gvUserInfo.DataBind();
}
// This button click event is used to change gridview header based on requirement
protected void btnChange_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(gvUserInfo.Rows.Count>0)
{
gvUserInfo.HeaderRow.Cells[0].Text = "Name";
gvUserInfo.HeaderRow.Cells[2].Text = "Destination";
}
}
VB.NET Code


Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Partial Class Default2
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
BindGridview()
End If
End Sub
' This method is used to bind gridview from database
Protected Sub BindGridview()
Dim con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB")
con.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select TOP 10 UserName,LastName,Location from UserInformation", con)
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds)
gvUserInfo.DataSource = ds
gvUserInfo.DataBind()
End Sub
' This button click event is used to change gridview header based on requirement
Protected Sub btnChange_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If gvUserInfo.Rows.Count > 0 Then
gvUserInfo.HeaderRow.Cells(0).Text = "Name"
gvUserInfo.HeaderRow.Cells(2).Text = "Destination"
End If
End Sub
End Class
