Hi,
I run a bi-lingual site and so, I need to set the text values of the headings via code-behind in PageLoad:
If lang = "en" Then
EvenemangGridView.HeaderRow.Cells(0).Text = "Date"
EvenemangGridView.HeaderRow.Cells(1).Text = "Time"
etc.

It works fine, but I noticed that the sorting functionality was broken after setting the text dynamically. This is what I have in the aspx page:
<asp:GridView ID="EvenemangGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="EvenemangDataSource"
                EmptyDataText="" Style="z-index: 100; left: 0px; position: relative;" AllowPaging="True"
                CellPadding="0" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" HorizontalAlign="Left" PageSize="10"
                Width="590px" AllowSorting="True" EnableViewState="false">
                <Columns>
                    <asp:BoundField DataField="datum" HeaderText="datum" SortExpression="datum">
                        <ItemStyle Width="86px" />
                    </asp:BoundField>
etc.

I've searched the net for a solution but to no avail. Please help me out if you can!

Many thanks in advance!

Hi pettrer,

By setting the text property of the cell, you effectively clear out the entire cell, including stuff used for sorting.

Instead, you should set the HeaderText property of each column. That sets the text, while it preserves stuff like the SortExpression.

Something like this should work:

EvenemangGridView.Columns(0).HeaderText = "Date"
EvenemangGridView.Columns(0).HeaderText = "Time"

Hope this helps,
