Question

I have an ItemTemplate Label inside Gridview which I haven’t bound with any DataField.
I have userId as one of the columns of GridView.
Based on the userId column, I want to get total no of assets acquired by the User. The totalNo doesn’t exists in the database. I have to manually fire a query and get total no of row counts.

Now, how to put this rowCount for each user inside GridView?

Any ideas?
I have tried onRowDataBound and FindControl, but how do I get rowIndex for that particular user?

Answer 1

You add an event function for the DataBound on your GridView and when its render the Header you can change it like:

protected void grdView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
     {
        for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
        {
            e.Row.Cells[i].Text = "Custom header";
        }
     }
}
