void Button9_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*args*/ )
{
   IEnumerator^ myEnum2 = dataGridView->Columns->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum2->MoveNext() )
   {
      DataGridViewColumn^ column = safe_cast<DataGridViewColumn^>(myEnum2->Current);
      column->HeaderText = String::Concat( L"Column ", column->Index.ToString() );
   }
}

// Change the text in the column header.
private void Button9_Click(object sender,
    EventArgs args)
{
    foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView.Columns)
    {

        column.HeaderText = String.Concat("Column ",
            column.Index.ToString());
    }
}

' Change the text in the column header.
Private Sub Button9_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal args As EventArgs) Handles Button9.Click

    For Each column As DataGridViewColumn _
        In dataGridView.Columns

        column.HeaderText = String.Concat("Column ", _
            column.Index.ToString)
    Next
