Hello everyone.

Is it possible to have a text and an image in the header
of the DataGrid web control? I need to show the column
name and the order the table is sorted by (down or up
arrow). I was able to make the DataGrid be switched from
ascending to descending and back by clicking on the column
header but I can put only text or image there.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I should have also mentioned that you'll need to check to make sure the item created is the header row, since that's the only row you want to change.
You do that with code like this:

If

 e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then

I should also mention that as an alternative you could also likely solve your problem by using datagrid templates.  Here's more info on that technique:

You can modify the HTML for the header cells in the ItemCreated event of the datagrid.
That way you can put whatever you want in there.
You should be able to use a line of code similar to this in there:
e.Item.Cells(4).Text = "some text for column 4<img src='myimage.gif'>"
