System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   DetailsView Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Sets or retrieves the style properties for the header section of a DetailsView control.

Script	DetailsView.HeaderStyle.Property [ = enumValue ]

A TableItemStyle object that defines the style properties for the header section of a DetailsView.

Use this property to provide a custom style for the header row in a DetailsView control. Common style attributes that can be set include forecolor, backcolor, font, and content alignment within the cell. Providing different item styles enhances the appearance of the DetailsView control.

The HeaderStyle subproperties can be set declaratively using either of the following methods:

• Include an attribute in the opening tag of the DetailsView control in the form HeaderStyle-Property

  <asp:detailsview ... 
     headerstyle-property=value
     ... >
  
  </asp:detailsview>

• Include a <HeaderStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the DetailsView control

  <asp:detailsview ... >
  
     <headerstyle
        ... property definitions here />
  
  </asp:detailsview>

The subproperties can also be set programmatically in the form HeaderStyle.Property.

For a list of style properties that can be set, see the TableItemStyle class.

The below snippet shows setting the HeaderStyle property of a DetailsView control at design time.

<asp:detailsview id = "msgView" runat = "server" cellpadding=5>

   <headerstyle
      backcolor = "maroon"
      forecolor = "khaki"
      font-bold font-italic />

</asp:detailsview>
