How can the HeaderRow of a GridView be null? I really need to know!

[GrahamRounce]

Hi - How can the HeaderRow be null? ShowHeader is set to true, and I can

 

gView.Columns.Add(Col);

 

so gView is definitely there, but I can't

 

GridViewRow gvr = gView.HeaderRow;

gvr.Cells[0].Text = "hello";

 

because it drops out with 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object', because gvr is null How can this be? I've tried to manually instate the HeaderRow, but the property is read-only.

 

Any ideas? Thanks for any help,
