Hi faruquis,

use this

<asp:BoundColumn DataField="NAME" SortExpression="Name" HeaderText="Student Name">

<HeaderStyle CssClass="Your css class name">
</HeaderStyle>

<FooterStyle CssClass="Your css class name">
</FooterStyle>

</asp:BoundColumn>

Regards!

no sir.. it isnt working... my class name is datagridlinks and i aplied the class as told by you... the generated code is this... and the class is not applied to the <a href...... take a look

<td class="datagridlinks"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('reportData$_ctl2$_ctl0','')">Student Name</a></td><td>

you have to declared the class like this
.LNnTxt1 { FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #000099; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }
A.LNnTxt1:link {       FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #000099; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;}
A.LNnTxt1:visited {      FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }
A.LNnTxt1:active {      COLOR: #ff0000; }
A.LNnTxt1:hover {      COLOR: #990000; TEXT-DECORATION: none; }

and then add LNnTxt1 as a class name to the header/footerstyle
