public:

Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI::ITemplate
A System.Web.UI::ITemplate that contains the template for the heading section of the DataList control. The default value is nullptr.

Use the HeaderTemplate property to control the contents of the heading section. The appearance of the header section is controlled by the HeaderStyle property.

NoteNote:

The ShowHeader property must be set to true for this property to be visible.

To specify a template for the heading section, place the <HeaderTemplate> tags between the opening and closing tags of the DataList control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <HeaderTemplate> tags.

Caution noteCaution:

This control can be used to display user input, which might include malicious client script. Check any information that is sent from a client for executable script, SQL statements, or other code before displaying it in your application. You can use validation controls to verify user input before displaying the input text in a control. ASP.NET provides an input request validation feature to block script and HTML in user input. For more information, see Securing Standard ControlsHow to: Protect Against Script Exploits in a Web Application by Applying HTML Encoding to Strings, and Validating User Input in ASP.NET Web Pages.
