thanks for the reply jocodes.. I had tried with

<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBoxEmployee" runat="server"/>
</HeaderTemplate>

it was just a try and the textbox was shown in header as expected..

Solution 1

on click of row event of grid you can add code like this to create a textxbox.

C#

protected void grd_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e) 
{
     GridViewRow selectRow = grd.Rows(e.NewEditIndex);
     TextBox txtKj=(TextBox)selectRow.Cells[3].FindControl("txtKjId"); 
}

Hope this help.
