---

Sets the style properties for the header section of a DataGrid.

<asp:datagrid ... 
   headerstyle-styleproperty=value
   ... >

</asp:datagrid>

or

<asp:datagrid ... >

   <headerstyle
      ... template style definition here
   </headerstyle>

</asp:datagrid>

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

Use this property to provide a custom style for the heading in the DataGrid 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 DataGrid control.

To specify a custom style for the heading of the DataGrid, declare a <HeaderStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the control. You can then list the style attributes within the opening <HeaderStyle> tag.

NOTE: The ShowHeader property must be set to true for this property to have any effect.

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

<asp:datagrid id = "myGrid" runat = "server" cellpadding=5>

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

</asp:datagrid>
