How can I change the header of the DataGridViewColumn in Windows Forms?

I checked on other postings and suggested to make the EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false but that only lets me color them. I want to change their names, but they don't change when I force the name as shown below.

Products prod = new Products();
DataTable dt = prod.GetTopTenTransactions(Global.Instance.Accounts[0]);
transactionGrid.DataSource = dt;

foreach (DataGridViewColumn cols in transactionGrid.Columns)
{
    cols.Width = 70;
}

transactionGrid.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.CadetBlue;
transactionGrid.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false; 

transactionGrid.Columns[0].Name = "ID";
transactionGrid.Columns[1].Name = "TYPE";
transactionGrid.Columns[2].Name = "DATE";
transactionGrid.Columns[3].Name = "AMOUNT";
transactionGrid.Columns[4].Name = "FROM";
transactionGrid.Columns[5].Name = "TO";
transactionGrid.Columns[6].Name = "TELLER ID";

Any help would be much appreciated.

  1. If you are using a predefined set of columns (known at design time), then in visual studio select the datagrid, go to properties in columns click the ... button this opens up an extra window, in which you can edit the details of your column

  2. If you are doing things at runtime, then in the code behind file use:

    datagrid.Columns[index].HeaderText = "new value";

Hope this helps.

You should use HeaderText property:

transactionGrid.Columns[0].HeaderText = "Header";

DataGridViewColumn.Name is used to identify column in collection.
Try to use DataGridViewColumn.HeaderText instead.
