Question

I am adding HeaderText ="Column name".

What I want to be is HeaderText ="Column name [rupee symbol here]"

I can do a keyboard shortuct of rupee …by installing rupee symbol in my system.

Will it be available through all my customers if they didnt install rupee symbol in their system?

Or i can do a image column … by taking a print screen or current column and doing some mspaint works to add rupee symbol and add this ammended image as GridView column

is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

As Rupee has a new shape recently (and it has been added to Unicode 6.0 ) up to now I didn’t heard that any international font implement it in their fonts.

So if you want to use new rupee symbol, you have to use its image.

defenit;y if you use the symbol, your customer ( or not all of them ) wont be able to see it in their system.

Youhave to use TemplateField to use Image and Label together like

<asp:GridView ID="list" runst="server">
    <columns>
        <TemplateField>
            <HeaderTemplate>
                <asp:label ID="Name" runat="Server" Text="Price" />
                <asp:Image ID="rupee" runat="server" ImageURL="Rupee.gif" />
            </HeaderTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:label ID="price" runat="Server" Text="<%# Eval("Price") %>" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        <TemplateField>
    </columns>
</asp:GridView>
