This seems like it could be an asp.net bug. I am getting the following
exception when I add OnSortCommand attribute to a datagrid. I have
deleted the temp directories, rebooted etc and I have isolated it to
the OnSortCommands presence. When I use a code behind it doesn't fire
any events on the back end and the global error handler grabs it. I
put together a very simple example to illustrate the problem below. If
anyone has an idea of why this is happening I'd appreciate it.
