Hi,

I have table in database. I am fetching the records of that table and displaying it in a gridview. In this the column names are same as the that of the column names in databse table.

I need to change the name of colums in gridview. Can anyone help me ?

C#

Protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select username,Level1_Attempt1,Level1_Attempt2,Level1_Attempt3,Level2_Attempt1,Level2_Attempt2,Level2_Attempt3,Level3_Attempt1,Level3_Attempt2,Level3_Attempt3 from register", con); 
con.Open(); 
SqlDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); 
GridView1.DataSource = sdr; 
GridView1.DataBind(); 
con.Close(); 
}

I need to change the names level1_attempt1,level1_attempt2,.......and put required names of my interest in gridview

Solution 2

Logically

C#

dataGridView1.Columns[id].HeaderText = "your desire name";

would do the trick.
See and example here..

Based on the solutions given,
I would say No.2 is the only one which helps best in your case.

However you should not do it that way.
Don't forward the problem when you can fix it at its root.

SQL

--Rename your columns right at your sql statement:
select username AS 'Username', Level1_Attempt1 AS 'First Level1 Attempt'..... FROM register

<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="Name" HeaderStyle-Height="25" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="left"
                      ItemStyle-Width="20%" SortExpression="Name">
                      <HeaderStyle Height="25px" />
                      <ItemStyle Width="20%" />
                      </asp:BoundField>

You can use itemtemplates and template fields to bind the database colums with grid:

XML

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnPageIndexChanging="GridView1_PageIndexChanging" PageSize="10">
 <Columns>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="lblid" runat="server"   Text= '<%#Eval("id")%>'></asp:Label>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>


                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Date">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                 <%#Eval("date")%>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>



                         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Time In">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                 <%#Eval("timein")%>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>

                         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Time Out">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                 <%#Eval("timeout")%>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>

                         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                 <%#Eval("time_status")%>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>


                       <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Reason">
                            <ItemTemplate>

                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>


                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Grant Status">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                 <%#Eval("granted")%>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>


                        <asp:TemplateField >
                <ItemTemplate>
