    You can use this code snippet to add Gridview Header Filter in ASP.net
    <HeaderTemplate>
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtCategoryNameHeader" runat="server"

    BorderStyle="None" AutoPostBack="true" BackColor="Transparent"

    OnTextChanged="txtCategoryNameHeader_TextChanged" ></asp:TextBox>
    <asp:TextBoxWatermarkExtender ID="TextBoxWatermarkExtender1" runat="server"

    TargetControlID="txtCategoryNameHeader" WatermarkText="Category">
    </asp:TextBoxWatermarkExtender>
    </HeaderTemplate>

    You need to use FilterExpression along with the SelectCommand, using which the records are filtered based on the value entered in the TextBox
      

    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" HeaderStyle-BackColor="#3AC0F2" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White"
    runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataSourceID="GridDataSource" AllowPaging="true">
    <Columns>
    <asp:BoundField DataField="CName" HeaderText="Name" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
    <asp:BoundField DataField="YourCity" HeaderText="City" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
    <asp:BoundField DataField="YourCountry" HeaderText="Country" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
    </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
