How can I set column header text?

I would like to set the text of the columns. What is the correct syntax for the GridView?

Me.gvRefBetweenLineOfBiz.DataSource = query
Me.gvRefBetweenLineOfBiz.DataBind()
EnableControlVisibility(True)

You'll likely want to disable the automatic generation of your columns, and create a BoundField for each column you want displayed in your GridView. Each BoundField has a HeaderText property which controls the column's header text.

From the docs:

<asp:gridview id="CustomersGridView" 
    datasourceid="CustomersSqlDataSource" 
    autogeneratecolumns="false"
    autogenerateeditbutton="true"
    allowpaging="true" 
    datakeynames="CustomerID"  
    runat="server">

    <columns>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="CustomerID"
        readonly="true"      
        headertext="Customer ID"/>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="CompanyName"
        convertemptystringtonull="true"
        headertext="Customer Name"/>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="Address"
        convertemptystringtonull="true"
        headertext="Address"/>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="City"
        convertemptystringtonull="true"
        headertext="City"/>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="PostalCode"
        convertemptystringtonull="true"
        headertext="ZIP Code"/>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="Country"
        convertemptystringtonull="true"
        headertext="Country"/>
    </columns>

  </asp:gridview>
