DataGrid Column Header Text...

[steverbs]

Hi all.

I thought this would have been a very simple task, but it has become a bit of a nightmare. How do I dynamically change the header text of a DataGrid column at runtime? I have the following code

If (objShop.deliveryCalculationMode = Entities.Shop.deliveryCalculationModeType.orderPrice) Then
    Me.dgDeliveryBands.Columns(0).HeaderText = "Max Order Value"
ElseIf (objShop.deliveryCalculationMode = Entities.Shop.deliveryCalculationModeType.orderWeight) Then
    Me.dgDeliveryBands.Columns(0).HeaderText = "Max Weight"
End If

But it doesn't do anything. I have tried putting this in Form_Load, DataGrid_PreRender, etc but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Stephen.

Why don't you try it when the item is created? e.g.

    Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.ItemCreated
        Select Case e.Item.ItemType

            Case ListItemType.Header
                If (objShop.deliveryCalculationMode = Entities.Shop.deliveryCalculationModeType.orderPrice) Then
                    e.Item.Cells(0).Text = "Max Order Value"
                ElseIf (objShop.deliveryCalculationMode = Entities.Shop.deliveryCalculationModeType.orderWeight) Then
                    e.Item.Cells(0).Text = "Max Weight"
                End If

        End Select
    End Sub

Yeah. That worked a treat.

Thanks again.
