HI All
sorting is working well with datagrid when its adjusted to autogenerate columns.

but when allowing sorting with bounded columns sorting headers are not activated.

the only solution for that is to create each column as a template and add a link to the header and activate sorting in itemcommand event.


how to fire sortcommand instead ??????

Hi Ahmed,

You can set the DataGrid's OnSortCommand to a method in your code, like this:

<asp:datagrid
 ID="myDataGrid"
 OnSortCommand="SortCommand"
/>

Then in your Code Behind, add a method with this signature:

public void SortCommand(Object sender, DataGridSortCommandEventArgs e)
{

}

Inside this method, retrieve SOrt information using e.SortExpression and rebind your data.

HtH,

Sure you can.

Just, as with other EventHandlers, add some code like this to the InitializeComponent method:

myDataGrid.SortCommand += new DataGridSortCommandEventHandler(this.SortCommand);

Alternatively, you can switch to Design View, have VS.NET screw up all your HTML, then click your DataGrid once. On the Properties dialog, switch to the Events category, locate the SortCommand entry, type a new method name and hit Tab. VS.NET will add the Handler and the method for you in the Code Behind.


What's wrong with changing the HTML? I find this a useful and quick way to setup multiple handlers in Code View of the page.....
