changing column name breaks sorting

[IT Dev]

i am changing column names for grid in code behind

 

 

if (fr == 1)

 

 

{

 

 

 

if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)

 

 

{

 

 

 

GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;

 

 

headerItem.Cells[2].Text =

 

"New Name";
}
}
It works fine.But after it i cant sortthis column by clicking on column name?

Hello Alex,

Try the followinh approach to change the HeaderText of column.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
        if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
       {
           GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
           LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)headerItem["EmployeeID"].Controls[0]; //accessing the Header link button using UniqueName of column
           btn.Text = "New Name";
        }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.
