usually you do this kind of binding in the RowDataBound event of your grid, for example:

protected void yourNiceGridViewControl_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer)
  {
    TextBox myTextBox = e.Row.FindControl("txtFooter") as TextBox;

    if( myTextBox != null ) 
    {

      myTextBox.Tex= ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["MyFirend"].ToString();
    }
  }
}
