helo all,

            this seems to be funny.but this is what i really want 2 do.i have a datagrid.i am inserting a template column at design time and i am putting some labels in header template.

at run time before databinding to that datagrid, i want 2 change the caption of the labels in page load. is there any shortcut way to do this?

that is before assigning some tables to the datagrid i want 2 change the caption of the labels in page load.

regards
Sonnu

Use the ItemDataBound event of the grid:

    Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then
            Dim lbl As Label
            lbl = e.Item.Cells(<index of cell you want to change).FindControl("lblTest")
            lbl.Text = "Some Text"
        End If
    End Sub

Repeate for each column you want to change
