How to generate from GridView ?

http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=250

In order to prevent the Column Header to be highlighted, use the following code to generate the <thead>:

C#

if (GridView1.Rows.Count > 0)

{

GridView1.UseAccessibleHeader = true;

GridView1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;

//GridView1.FooterRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableFooter;

}

VB.NET

If GridView1.Rows.Count > 0 Then

GridView1.UseAccessibleHeader = True

GridView1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader

'GridView1.FooterRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableFooter;

End If

The code above generates the <thead> tag for us instead of generating the <th> in the <tr> (which is the default html generated). I have on purpose commented out the FooterRow code, since it gives me a strange error. I have used a second approach to solve that to a certain extent. Read on.
