How about this:

 

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCreated
        ' Check the header type
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then
            Dim litHeader As Literal
            Dim txtSearch As TextBox

            ' loop through each cell
            For i As Integer = 0 To (e.Row.Cells.Count - 1)
                litHeader = New Literal
                txtSearch = New TextBox

                ' get the current header text
                litHeader.Text = e.Row.Cells(i).Text & "<br />"

                ' add the header text plus a new textbox
                e.Row.Cells(i).Controls.Add(litHeader)
                e.Row.Cells(i).Controls.Add(txtSearch)
            Next

        End If
    End Sub

Click the arrow at the top right corner of the gridview to show the smart tags.

Then click on Edit Templates

Select header Template from the dropdownlist

From the Toolbox add textbox control into header template field

Click end template editing
