Question

Suppose I have a table with columns userdef1, userdef2 …..userdef6 and I have another table that defines these fields. i.e UserDef1 = “MyName” etc

What would be the best approach for retrieving these values and updating the column headers?

Answer 1

What I did is use the RowDataBound event.

In that event you can fill each column, including the Headers.

With e.Row
   if .RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then
      'do the logic here

   end If
