Create ToolTip for GridView Header

The following allows you to add a tooltip to the header links of your GridView, a feature that is lacking.

VB.Net Code:

Code:

Private Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
    '//Check the row type is header
    If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then
        For Each cell As TableCell In e.Row.Cells
            For Each ctrl As Control In cell.Controls
                If ctrl.GetType().ToString().Contains("DataControlLinkButton") Then
                    cell.Attributes.Add("title", CType(ctrl, LinkButton).Text)
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End If
End Sub

C# code:

Code:

private void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    ////Check the row type is header
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header) {
        foreach (TableCell cell in e.Row.Cells) {
            foreach (Control ctrl in cell.Controls) {
                if (ctrl.GetType().ToString().Contains("DataControlLinkButton")) {
                    cell.Attributes.Add("title", ((LinkButton)ctrl).Text);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
