I want to bind my grid column header names by retrieving data from a table. This table has two fields,ID and ExpenseName, I want to display the ExpenseNames as Column header of the Grid. Actually I am creating Staff grid view. I want all the Expense names of staff to be displayed as a header.

Please Give me some ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 2

Hi,

Please bind your grid as below.

C#

DataSet ds = GetExpenseName();
if(ds!=null&&ds.Table[0].Rows.count>0)
{
  for(int i=0;i<ds.table[0].rows.count;i++)>
  {
    GridViewName.Column[i].HeaderText = ds.Table[0].Row[i]["ExpenseNames"].ToString();
  }
}

Hope this will help you.

C#

protected void gvSearchResult_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
  {

    try
     {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
          {
              Label lblSearchResults =            (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblSearchResults");
              lblSearchResults.Text = ((DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem)["Column Name"].ToString();
          }
     }
}

This might work for you
