{
   DataGridViewCellStyle^ style = gcnew DataGridViewCellStyle;
   style->Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment::MiddleCenter;
   style->ForeColor = Color::IndianRed;
   style->BackColor = Color::Ivory;
   IEnumerator^ myEnum1 = dataGridView->Columns->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum1->MoveNext() )
   {
      DataGridViewColumn^ column = safe_cast<DataGridViewColumn^>(myEnum1->Current);
      column->HeaderCell->Value = column->Index.ToString();
      column->HeaderCell->Style = style;
   }
}

// Style and number columns.
private void Button8_Click(object sender,
    EventArgs args)
{
    DataGridViewCellStyle style = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
    style.Alignment =
        DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
    style.ForeColor = Color.IndianRed;
    style.BackColor = Color.Ivory;

    foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView.Columns)
    {
        column.HeaderCell.Value = column.Index.ToString();
        column.HeaderCell.Style = style;
    }
}

' Style and number columns.
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal args As EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click

    Dim style As DataGridViewCellStyle = _
        New DataGridViewCellStyle()
    style.Alignment = _
        DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
    style.ForeColor = Color.IndianRed
    style.BackColor = Color.Ivory

    For Each column As DataGridViewColumn _
        In dataGridView.Columns

        column.HeaderCell.Value = _
            column.Index.ToString
        column.HeaderCell.Style = style
    Next
End Sub

Remarks

The header of a column is typically used to display a column label. Depending on the current values of the SortMode and DataGridView.SelectionMode properties, users can also click the column header to sort or select the column.
