HtmlImages-In-ColumnHeader

string imageName = "customer";
imageCollection1.AddImage(Image.FromFile("c:\\customer-16x16.png"), imageName);

gridView1.OptionsView.AllowHtmlDrawHeaders = true;
gridView1.HtmlImages = imageCollection1;
columnCustomer.Caption = columnCustomer.GetCaption() + "<image=" + imageName + ">";

#Example

The following example shows how to format the GridBand.Caption using HTML tags. HTML formatting is enabled via the GridOptionsView.AllowHtmlDrawHeaders property. The image below shows the result:
