How to Change DataGrid Header Text and Still Sortable?

[kvang]

My VB code is something like this:

Select Case e.Item.ItemType
            Case ListItemType.Header
                e.Item.Cells(6).Text = "Assessed Dollars MTD"

When I do this, it takes away my sort functionality for that column. How can I change the datagrid header text and still make the column sortable?

As long as you specify the SortExpression for the column, I don't think it matters what you set the Header text as.

I think it's because your replacing controls with simple text. it doesn't look like you are preforming any logic so try this instead.

<asp:GridView ...>
   <Columns>
      <asp:DataBoundColumn HeaderText="foo" SortExpression="bar" ... />
   </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

I've already specified the controls in the HTML code. I should've mention in my first post that I want to change the header text at runtime. The code below was what I was looking for:

dgFeeOverview.Columns(5).HeaderText = "Assessed Dollars MTD"

Thanks for you inputs.
