I tried in the same way, but succeeded partially.

but finally i found a way where GridView Header should be disabled (ShowHeader=”false”):

1. create a normal HTML table row (same width as gridview) with LINK BUTTONS as column headings where cells width should be same as respective gridview column width
2. create a div below html table row with overflow:auto and importantly some fixed height.
3. create your gridview in above div disabling HEADER and enabling SORT
4. Assign following c# script on LINK Button in html table row Header (on link button(s) click)

private void sortGridView(string expression, string SortSess)
{
SortDirection direction =SortDirection.Descending;

Search_View.Sort(” ORDER by ” + expression + ” ASC”, direction);
}

where expression is DB column name

Very Nice and Clean. Thanks! Do you have one that sorts by column when the user clicks on the column headings?

Guys, you might want to try this open-source ASP.NET CoolGridView. It just extends ASP.NET GridView. It supports fix headers, footer and pager. You can also place it inside UpdatePanel with no issue. It works well in Internet Explorer 8.0.6001, Firefox 3.5.3 and Safari 4.0.2.

There is an even easier way. Just create a Label background what ever color U wish. Place that at the top of grid outside the Panel. Then place lables which will be used for the field names on top of the long label. U will need to make sure the label fields on in front of the longer Header label. Make the label fields a different color that the header label. Thata all now U have a fixed header without using Css or any other code.
