How to format ASP.NET grid view header text using html?

Question

If in the html table header, I would use:

<th class="titleclass" width="200"><span>Header Text</span> <sup><a href="#link"><span style="font-size: 12px">1</span></a></sup></th>

How can I use the same header text in bound field of asp.net gridview. I tried the following:

<asp:boundcolumn 
    visible="True" 
    datafield="Column1" 
    headertext="<span>Header Text</span> <sup><a href='#link'><span style='font-size: 12px'>1</span></a></sup>" 
    HeaderStyle-CssClass="titleclass">
    <itemstyle horizontalalign="Left"></itemstyle>
</asp:boundcolumn>

This is not working. It says "There is not source available for the current location" and the style for my header text is not applied (but the style for the superfix number 1 is applied). Any thoughts?

What is the HTML rendered to the page for the tr & th tags? And what says "There is not source available for the current location", that sounds like a binding problem. — Jon P

Convert your field to Template: 'Edit Columns - Select needed field - Convert to Template'

Edit the header template as desired.

You can use the HeaderStyle Property of the gridview.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"> <HeaderStyle CssClass="titleclass"/> . . .

Or you can do it from within your ASP.NET code,

GridView1.Columns[0].HeaderStyle.CssClass = "titleClass";

Hope this helps
