Can we read DataField of a bound field column for a GridView in the asp.net application?

I want to create a data table at run time for any grid.

public static void fnSetBlankGridMessage(GridView gv, string strMessage)
{
.
.
.
}

Following is my aspx code

C#

<asp:BoundField DataField="Service_Number" HeaderText="Service">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="grdheader" />

I want to read "Service_Number" at runtime.

Hi AmolPandurangBorkar,

Please try the solution given below. It may help you to read DataField property of a bound column for a GridView.

C#

System.Text.StringBuilder sbBoundFieldNames = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.BoundField bfName in this.GridView1.Columns)
{
    sbBoundFieldNames.Append("<br />" + bfName.DataField);
}

Response.Write(sbBoundFieldNames.ToString());

Thanks a lot Ambicaprasad Maurya...
You put me very close to my solution.
By doing some modifications I am able to achieve my goal.

Also as I have "TemplateField"s in the grid, I made following change

public static void fnSetBlankGridMessage(GridView gv, string strMessage)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder sbBoundFieldNames = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.BoundField bfName;
for (int intCnt = 0; intCnt < gv.Columns.Count; intCnt++)
{
if (gv.Columns[intCnt].GetType().Name == "BoundField")
{
bfName = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.BoundField)gv.Columns[intCnt];
sbBoundFieldNames.Append("<br />" + bfName.DataField);
}
}
Response.Write(sbBoundFieldNames.ToString());

}

Thanks again
~Amol
