Setting TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader after the grid is bound works initially, putting the header row in thead. After a postback (where the grid is not re-bound) the header row reverts to the table body. I expect the header row to stay in thead; can someone explain why this is not the case or what I am doing wrong?
Sample:
Click the button to cause a postback. The header is not orange after the postback since it's not in thead anymore.

Use the Pre_Render_Complete event instead to add the table section. This will ensure the thead section is always added. As you are currently doing it on DataBound the section will only be added when the data is bound.
protected override void OnPreRenderComplete(EventArgs e)
{
if (gv1.Rows.Count > 0)
{
gv1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
}
}
Feel free to change the row check I use to checking the Header Row exists as you currently do.

You must set TableSection after DataBind method.
gv1.DataSource = this.Page.Controls;
gv1.DataBind();
gv1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
Just put the below code in prerender event of gridview
protected void gv_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (gv.Rows.Count > 0)
{
gv.UseAccessibleHeader = true;
gv.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
}
}
