sorting a datagrid

[Newbie]

Hello!

I need help in making my datagrid sortable by clicking a column header.

In the datagrid's property builder, Allow Sorting is checked. I am using a
Bound column and it's Sort Expression is set to the same value as the Data
Field value. But I dont know how to implement:

private void dgResults_SortC ommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridSortCommand EventArgs e)
{

}

Please help.

RE: sorting a datagrid

Hi,

How you fill the datagrid?, are you using a datatable?

If you're using a datatable you can use this code:

//When you get the data from (for instance :database)

DataView dv = new DataView();
dv=Yourdatatabl e.DefaultView;
Page.Session.Ad d("DataViewOrig inal",dv);//put into the session the view
this.DataGrid1. DataSource=dv;//assign the data source
this.DataGrid1. DataBind();
//In your sortCommand method
if(Page.Session["DataViewOrigin al"]!=null) //if exists the dataview in the
session
{
DataView dv=(DataView) Page.Session["DataViewOrigin al"]; //take the view
dv.Sort=e.SortE xpression;//sort the view by the name of the column header
clicked
this.DataGrid1. DataSource=dv; //assign the source
this.DataBind() ; //show the info
}
Hope this helps.
Regards.
