How to right align the header of just one Gridview column

Question

Does anybody knows how to right-align a header of just one column of a gridview. Been searching the web and still cannot find a solution for it.

The HorizontalAlign='Right' works for the data, but not for the header. I do not want to right-align all columns but just one.

Here's an excerpt of the code:

<asp:GridView ID="gvCustomer" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="CustomerId" HeaderText="Customer Id" />

               (other fields here)

                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Contact Name" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" >
                    <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblContactName" Text='<%# Eval("ContactName") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
                    <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
                </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

1 You can define on your control GridView

<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />

Note: delete your tag from item. he must be on your GridView control

So

<asp:GridView ID="gvCustomer" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server">
    <HeaderStyle  HorizontalAlign="Right" />
    .....
</asp:GridView>

2 Or you can define on your Item

<asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right">

Note: with this solution delete <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" /> (must be inside your GridView not item)
