Hello,

I am trying to get the header text of the datagrid in
the ItemDataBound event, but it returns an empty string.

Here is what I did:
Private Sub datagrid1_ItemDataBound(....)
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then
Response.Write("Header Text" & e.Item.Cells(2).Text)
End If
end Sub

And here is my desinger of the datagrid.

<asp:datagrid id=....>
....
<asp:TemplateColumn>
...
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn SortExpression="Day" HeaderText="Date">
...
</asp:TemplateColumn>
....
</asp:datagrid>

What I am doing wroing? I also tried the same code in the
OnItemCreated event, but it returns also an empty string.

Thanks

Hi Vishal,

Try using the PreRender event?

    Private Sub DataGrid1_PreRender _
    (ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles DataGrid1.PreRender
        Dim dgCell As TableCell
        dgCell = CType(DataGrid1.Controls(0). _
                                  Controls(0). _
                                  Controls(0), _
                                  TableCell)
        Response.Write(dgCell.Text)
    End Sub
