sort tables more comfortably

[Thomas Tomow]

Hello,

I have to sort a table. Ok, that's not realy a problem, but I have to do it
with a HTMLTable
via ASP.NET. The task is to click the header row and get the sorted result.
The table is generated
dynamically with the help of a dataset, a repeater and a dataview. The
problem is, that I have to
make every columnname a linkbutton. For each of these linkbuttons there
exists an event handler,
managing viewstates. These viewstates consist of the columnname. When
reloading the page,
the table will be re-generated (databind with a dataview (sorted)).
Here my question: is there something, I can do to handle the events within
an "event-container",
selecting the viewstate in relation to the linkbutton, which was clicked?

Could you not make the column a custom column that uses a web user control.
That control would be a link button with all its own event handling wired
in.
