Hi David,

Thank you for your opening a public item as I have suggested!

I am joining this thread with some good news. We have discussed the current issue with Attila and investigated it further. It turned out that the desired behavior is actually pretty easy to achieve.

The current case is about renaming a GridColum dynamically on the server side. You can change the HeaderText of a column at any stage, you will just need to Rebind the Grid afterward so the change takes effect. That way you can avoid the tricky client-side approach I suggested in the initial ticket.

For instance:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlYears" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlYears_SelectedIndexChanged">
    <asp:ListItem Value="2021" Text="2021" />
    <asp:ListItem Value="2022" Text="2022" />
</asp:DropDownList>

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" ....>

VB

Protected Sub ddlYears_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim col = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ShipName")
    col.HeaderText = ddlYears.SelectedValue
    RadGrid1.Rebind()
End Sub

Please give this a try and let me know if any questions come up.

As the current Bug Report is regarding customization of the default Grid behavior I will convert it to a Feature Request. I will also set its status to NeedMoreInfo while expecting your feedback if the suggested approach will fit the current requirements.

Kind regards,

Hi David,

Please note that Bugs can only be reported for embedded functionalities that do not work as expected.

Could you please point me out the Functionality that does now work as described in the RadGrid documentation? 

Once you share more details we will investigate the issue and share our feedback!

I look forward to hearing from you.
