how to change Gridview header text of columns using SQL valu

Jan 14 2014 6:08 PM
I'm making a C# asp.net webpage that shows the data for certain items but I want to set the header's values in gridview so it will change the text depending on what item the user is viewing.
For example: the user wants to see data for Object A than it should go into the database find what values the table should show for the header for this item.
So if in the database it says: size, height, material than those three would be the headers text.
But if it's Object B than it should show the header text as following: size, length, color.
Each item would have different text for the header depending on what the user picks.
I already have the part done where it's getting the values from the database. I'm having trouble on how to make the header dynamic using the header names from the database.
I saw this method that can be used in .cs page but it's not dynamic.

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
   {
       e
.Row.Cells[0].Text = "The new header";
   }
}

How can I get the values I'm reading from the sql commands and relate it to the header? I just can't find the right syntax or method to relate them.
