System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   DetailsView Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Sets or retrieves the style properties for the header columns in a DetailsView control.

Script	DetailsView.FieldHeaderStyle.Property [ = enumValue ]

A TableItemStyle object that defines the style properties for the header columns in a DetailsView.

Use this property to provide a custom style for the header columns in a DetailsView control. These are the columns that contain the field names of the data values.

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 FieldHeaderStyle 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 FieldHeaderStyle-Property

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

</asp:detailsview>
