Remarks

Use the HeaderRow property to programmatically access the GridViewRow object that represents the header row in a GridView control.

Note

The HeaderRow property is available only after the GridView control creates the header row in the RowCreated event.

This property is commonly used when you need to programmatically manipulate the header row, for example, when adding custom content. Any modification to the HeaderRow property must be performed after the GridView control has been rendered; otherwise, the GridView control will overwrite any changes.
