System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   FormView Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Specifies the template to use for the header in a FormView control.

<asp:formview ... >

   <headertemplate>
      ... template definition here
   </headertemplate>

</asp:formview>

An ITemplate interface that defines how the header section of a FormView control is rendered.

The property is read/write with no default value.

The HeaderTemplate describes the layout of elements to render in the header row of a FormView control.

To specify a template for the header row, declare a <HeaderTemplate> element between the opening and closing tags of the control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <HeaderTemplate> ... </HeaderTemplate> tags.

To control the style of the header row, use the HeaderStyle property.

NOTE: The HeaderTemplate item cannot be data bound.

Alternatively, you can simply display text in the header row by setting the HeaderText property instead of this property.

NOTE: If both the HeaderText and HeaderTemplate properties are set, the HeaderTemplate property takes precedence.

The below snippet shows use of a HeaderTemplate for a FormView control.

<asp:formview id = "categorySpecs" runat = "server"
   datasourceid = "categories"
   ... >

   <headertemplate>
      <div style = "font:bold 13pt; padding:5; background:darkslategray; color:khaki">
         Northwind Product Categories
      </div>
   </headertemplate>

   <itemtemplate>
      ...
   </itemtemplate>

</asp:formview>
