Hello All,
I am trying to insert a text inside a header template like the below code:---

XML

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="PlanningId" ItemStyle-CssClass="TACenter">
        <HeaderTemplate>
         Planning Id<br />
            <asp:TextBox ID="txt_planningid" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        </HeaderTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>

But While doing the above code i am getting the following error:-

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.LiteralControl' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton'.

Please give me solution as early as possible,its urgent.

Thank you

the error is showing the reason..i.e, literal control to linkbutton.probably in your rowdatabound or any grid related events of codebehind you have written (Literal) instead of (LinkButton)..check it..

I have used sorting in gridview.It was using some sortdirection variable of System.Web.UI.WebControls .And when i removed sorting from my page,there was no exception.

In header, you cannot use controls.
If your Heading will be dynamic; then use Label On the top of your Page.
