Answer 1

The CSS class you've assigned (GridHeaderStyle) is being applied to the header cells, not the header links. It sounds like the default link color is being applied.

Add the following to your CSS file:

.GridHeaderStyle a {color: red;}

This should change the link color in the headers.

Hope this helps!

At first I tried Jeremy's solution, but it didn't work for me. This is because the.asp code generated forces a <style="color: #333333"> tag in the header when you make it sortable.

Here's how to solve the problem:

.GridHeaderStyle a {color: white!important}

The.important qualifier will override the style that asp puts in.

Answer 3

This happens because you have not defined a CSS rule which says anything about the link color.

Add the following to your stylesheet:

.GridHeaderStyle a {
    color: #f0f; /* or whatever */
}

This post still doesn't have a best answer. I found below code in the same forum which is answered by ismailperim.

.GridStyle
{
    border: 6px solid rgb(217, 231, 255);
    background-color: White;
    font-family: arial;
    font-size: 12px;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.GridStyle tr
{
    border: 1px solid rgb(217, 231, 255);
    color: Black;
    height: 25px;
}
/* Your grid header column style */
.GridStyle th
{
    background-color: rgb(217, 231, 255);
    border: none;
    text-align: left;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 15px;
    padding: 4px;
    color:Black;
}
/* Your grid header link style */
.GridStyle tr th a,.GridStyle tr th a:visited
{
        color:Black;
}
.GridStyle tr th, .GridStyle tr td table tr td
{
    border: none;
}

.GridStyle td
{
    border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(217, 231, 255);
    padding: 2px;
}

It will solve the problem for sure

Answer 5

Not worked ANY of solutions. I solved this problem very simply. Added "HeaderStyle" attribute in the end of grid definition. How it looks like:

... </Columns>
...
<HeaderStyle ForeColor="Red" />
<SelectedRowStyle ...
</asp:GridView> ...
