The header row is displayed at the top of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsView control when the DetailsView.HeaderText or DetailsView.HeaderTemplate property is set. Use the DetailsView.HeaderStyle property to control the appearance of the header row in a System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsView control. This property is read-only; however, you can set the properties of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableItemStyle object it returns. The properties can be set declaratively in the form Property-Subproperty, where Subproperty is a property of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableItemStyle object (for example, HeaderStyle-ForeColor). The properties can also be set programmatically in the form Property.Subproperty (for example, HeaderStyle.ForeColor). Common settings usually include a custom background color, foreground color, and font properties.
