System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   DetailsView Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

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

<asp:detailsview ... >

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

</asp:detailsview>

An ITemplate interface that defines how the header section of a DetailsView 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 DetailsView 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 definition for a DetailsView control.

<asp:detailsview id = "myDetailsView" runat = "server"
   width=92% cellpadding=5 repeatcolumns=3
   headerstyle-backcolor = "lightsteelblue"
   headerstyle-font-bold backcolor = "ghostwhite">

   <headertemplate>
      NorthWind Traders Employees
   </headertemplate>

   <itemtemplate>
      <%# Eval ( "FirstName" ) %>
      <%# Eval ( "LastName" ) %>
   </itemtemplate>

</asp:detailsview>
