Use the Caption property to specify the text to render in an HTML caption element in a GridView control. The text that you specify provides assistive technology devices with a description of the table that can be used to make the control more accessible.
Additional accessibility support for the GridView control is provided by the CaptionAlign property. Use the CaptionAlign property to specify the alignment of the HTML caption element in a GridView control.
The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool.
