Custom Column for a DataGrid web form control

Hi,

I have a datagrid that supports bi-directional sorting - i would like an
icon (like an up or down arrow depending on the sort order) to be displayed
in the datagrid column headers which changes dynamically when the column is
sorted. Any ideas on how to implement this?

If I have to create a Custom clumn for this (which derives from
BoundColumn class), how do I proceed with this - how do I make a column that
has a text and image?

Any help is greatly appreciated

CGuy,

This might be a little easier.

use the HeaderImageURL property fo the column.

DataGrid1.Colum ns(0).HeaderIma geUrl = "up.gif"

make sure you set the image before calling databind.

It populated the DataGrid correctly from the fields on the items object of the collection, but I can't get the DataGrid to...

I am creating a custom datagrid based, in part, from someone else's code.

For example: public class HisCustomGrid : DataGrid { public HisCustomGrid() { } } public class HisColumnStyle : DataGridTextBox { public HisColumnStyle(int anyint, HisCustomGrid grid) { } }...

I am struggling with implementing somewhat complicated UI web-control. I explored Repeater, but I am not sure if it's the best way to go. I am leaning towards writing my own custom control and creating elements on the fly dynamically. I have a control that needs to display 3 columns and n number of rows depending on number of records. Sounds simple. But each Row has a control with its own data source binding and value must be selected...

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