Gridview Header

[EyeTalion]

I tried changing the name of the header columns using the SELECT command, which works fine, but throws my UPDATE command off. Returns err msg: ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number

 SelectCommand="SELECT SURPLUS_YR, DIV, SEQ_NO, SURPLUS_TYPE, DECAL_NO as Decal, FIELD_DESC, FIELD_MFGR, FIELD_SERIAL_NO, ITEM_CONDITION, SURPLUS_REASON FROM SPAR_DECAL_ITEM WHERE (SURPLUS_YR = :SURPLUS_YR) AND (SEQ_NO = :SEQ_NO) AND (DIV = :DIV)"

UpdateCommand="UPDATE SPAR_DECAL_ITEM SET FIELD_DESC = :FIELD_DESC, FIELD_MFGR = :FIELD_MFGR, FIELD_SERIAL_NO = :FIELD_SERIAL_NO, ITEM_CONDITION = :ITEM_CONDITION, SURPLUS_REASON = :SURPLUS_REASON WHERE (SURPLUS_YR = :SURPLUS_YR) AND (DIV = :DIV) AND (SEQ_NO = :SEQ_NO) AND (SURPLUS_TYPE = :SURPLUS_TYPE) AND (DECAL_NO = :DECAL_NO)">

Hey,

You can edit the Header Column Name in the markup of the GridView, you don't have to do it in the Update Statement:

Use the HeaderText property.

I configured my grid through the data source wizard and don't have any fields to select from to get to the HeaderText property?

Hey,

Are you using AutoGenerateColumns?

I assume you must be. In which case, you have two choices.

1) Don't. And use BoundField Columns instead.
2) Use the RowDataBound event for the GridView, determine if the row is of type header, and if it is, change the HeaderText for the column there.

Something like this in the RowDataBound event?

gv.HeaderRow.Cells(1).Text = "New Header"

Hey,

I don't have Visual Studio open to check, but that would seem like a logical approach.

Using the RowDataBound event to change the header text, but getting this err msg: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then
            gv.HeaderRow.Cells(7).Text = "Header Text"
        End If

Hey,

This would suggest that that Cell doesn't exist.

Can you set a breakpoint on that line, and put this in the watch window:

gv.HeaderRow.Cells(7)

Does it return Nothing? If so, are you sure that you have eight columns?
