Change the group name in a grouped grid

Using the Telerik ASP.NET grid, when you group the default text that shows up in the grid group header is

FIELDNAME: FIELDDATA

If you include

HeaderText = "myGroupHeaderText"

You'll get

myGroupHeaderText: FIELDDATA

What if you only want

FIELDDATA?

Here's the trick:

Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridGroupHeaderItem Then

Dim item As GridGroupHeaderItem = CType(e.Item, GridGroupHeaderItem)

Dim groupDataRow As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)

item.DataCell.Text = groupDataRow("mycolumnname").ToString

End If

End Sub
