In the properties list of the DataGridView, click on the "..." next to the "Columns" property. That will bring up a window where you can change a bunch of stuff, including the column labels.

The Datagridview DGV does not have to have a numerical column number , what i have found if you add in Columns like a Date selector linking back to a date column a developer can easily get lost to which column No belongs to , just simply use the Column names, VB example below , hope this assists someone.

With DGV
            .Columns("xChk").HeaderText = "Chk"
            .Columns("xChkIcn").HeaderText = "Crypt" 
            .Columns("xFleIcn").HeaderText = "Icon" 
            .Columns("xFleChkID").HeaderText = "ECO" 
            .Columns("xFleNam").HeaderText = "File Name" 
            .Columns("xFleDesc").HeaderText = "File Description" 
            .Columns("xFleStatTxt").HeaderText = "Status"
            .Columns("xRevNo").HeaderText = "Rev No." 
            .Columns("xCngdat").HeaderText = "Date" 
            .Columns("xCngID").HeaderText = "Edited" 
            .Columns("xFleVer").HeaderText = "Version" 
            .Columns("xDrwReg").HeaderText = "Reg" 
            .Columns("xCmt").HeaderText = "Comments" 
End With

Use your own column of GridView and can assign the Header text of the gridview. Go to Properties of the GridView-->Columns-->Add the column and set the DataBound to the DB Column name and Header Text Property.

And Dont forget to set the AutoGeneratedColumns property to false of the gridview

Or if you want to set your header programmatically then use following code:-

C#

GridView_Id.Columns[0].HeaderText = "HeaderName";
//This will change the GridView’s first column to "HeaderName

Best of luck.

Try this:

C#

protected void grdSearchResult_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 = "your header name";
        }
     }
}
