why setting the HeaderText programatically won't work?

Question

Hi all!

Do any of you know why this won't work?

<asp:BoundField HeaderText='<%=Lang.GetString("ManCan_Descripcion")%>' DataField="OcdObs" />

It's like the server is ignoring the <%%> tags, the page gets rendered like this:

<th scope="col"><%=Lang.GetString("ManCan_Descripcion")%></th>

Answer 1

runat="server" missing for the control?

Edit: Wait, aren't you supposed to use the <%# delimiter syntax instead?

I've never used that kind of binding so I'm not 100% sure here.

Answer 2

You need to do what you want in the code behind file before databinding. Something like this:

GridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = Globalizer.GetGlobalizedString("TXT_HEADER_NAME");
