Data Grid - ColSorting and Paging

[onedizzydevil]

Problem: Using OnSortCommand and OnPageIndexChanged datagrid events. When I select a page then Sort I stay on current page; however, when I Sort then change the page it will not retain the sort order.

Any one know how to fix this? OR, does any know how to get the current sortExpression, if that is even possible. Wayne Sellars

Hi Wayne,

How I did it was store the the sortfield in a hidden label in the form and then pass the sortfield to the sub that binds the data. Then you can pass the value of the label to the data-binding sub in the PageIndexChanged event.

I hope I explained that clearly (few beers).

I'm sure there is an article on it on 4Guys or something, have a search and I'll see if I can find it too.

Thanks, I actually though about doing it that way while I was trying to sleep last night. Eventhough it is a fairly simple thing to do I found the above article that explains the steps.

Hope it of value to other people. Wayne Sellars

Better late than never, right? I'm sure you've moved on from this issue, however, I saw an article on this so I thought I'd pass it on. Always game for more knowledge, right?
