Getting DataGrid Sort Column Header Name

relative noob.

i'm trying to get/display the column Header name that the user clicks
to sort on the DataGrid.

I know that i could take the e.SortExpressio n and spin through the
Columns on the DataGrid until I found the value that matches the
e.SortExpressio n and then grab the Header Name ... but I keep
thinking/hoping there is an easier way. I have searched through all
the e.* possibilities hoiping to find the Index # or something that
would tie it together.

any suggestions.

thank you

Dig,

The latest clicked sort of a datagrid is in your underlying datasource

Datatable.Defau ltView.Sort property
or
DataView.Sort property

(A dataview is the same as the inbuilt dataview defaultview)

I hope this helps,

cor,

perhaps i'm missing something here, but this seems as though this will
just get me the sort expression used and not access to the column name.

I'm trying to get this during my DataGrid SortCommand event.

thank you

I thought that you asked for an easier method to get the column. That is in
my opinion the sort expression (with extra Desc or ASC).

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a really annoying problem I have been having. I made a derived datagrid class that will select the row when a user clicks anywhere on a cell (multi-select without modifier keys). I got that working fine, but I also wanted to keep rows selected after a sort, which I do by storing the row's id in an arraylist. The idea was to do the sort and then go back and re-select the rows with that...

My Windows datagrid has two columns: one with the data that the user will see (col_X) and the other one (a hidden one: col_sort) that'll be used to sort data.

When I press the mouse key, it'll sort correctly (by col_sort), but as soon as I release the...

Hi All, - Visual Studio 2002 - VB.NET > ASP.NET I created a DataGrid on a webform. This datagrid has sorting enabled. I want to create in the header of each column (that is a sorting-hyperlink) a textbox. When my user clicks on a sort-hyperlink, I want to sort that column, but I also want to combine that with a rowfilter. That rowfilter should be the filtervalue, entered in the textbox of that specific column.

In VB .NET I load the contents of an Excel or comma seperated values file into a dataGrid (via a datatable). One of the columns has a comma in the name of the column. So for the comma separated values files I put double quotes are the column name. What I see is that the name ends up getting displayed correctly in the DataGrid column, "Class (1,2,3)". When I click on the column to sort I see the following error: "Additional information:...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
