[RESOLVED] Can a gridview header column be a hyperlink?

[MMock]

Usually when you click the header of a gridview column it means you want to sort on that column. Can I instead have it be a hyperlink to another page? The reason I am asking is because I am converting an ASP page, and that is how it works there. Obiously it's not a gridview though. I was thinking of an alternative that's a button outside the gridview. The gridview shows statuses, such as Pending 3, and there is a status legend that explains what the statuses are. It is this legend I want to display when a user clicks the header. I suppose another alternative would be to put it in each cell, i.e. Pending, Closed, Active could all bring up the legend.

Your thoughts, please...

You can edit the HeaderTemplate for that column

It will look something like this:

   <div>
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="test">
                    <HeaderTemplate>
                        <asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="test.html" runat="server">Test</asp:HyperLink>
                    </HeaderTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
    </div>

And have your .NET hyperlink point to a new window or however you want to work it.

Thank you so much!

And I was going to say, say hello to my friend Tom out there in Irvine, but then I remembered he lives in Trabuco Canyon now!
