Your question is not clear..
Every column in GridView will be clickable when you set the property Sorting=True.

You can also add columns in GridView dynamically.

Sanjay 1 more thing, that I want to know...the solution that you have provided I got clickable columns..but I also want full column selected and want to get the headertext text(i.e. selected) in a variable..can u help?

Hi Vipin

I didn't get your point. If you want to show the column select in different color then set property
SortedAscendingCellStyle-BackColor='some color'

and if you want the header text when selected the see the event

GridView1_Sorting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewSortEventArgs)

where you can get the value e.SortExpression.

I hope this will help you.
