I\'m trying to get a gridview to sort and page manually with no success.
The problem is that when a user clicks the column they want to sort, it sorts that page, but
Code behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!IsPostBack) {
string query = "SELECT * FROM book";
DataTable DT = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter DA = new SqlDataAdapter(query, sqlCon);
DA.Fill(DT);
GridView1.DataSource = DT;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}
protected void GridView1_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e) {
string query = "SELECT * FROM book";
DataTable DT = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter DA = new SqlDataAdapter(query, sqlCon);
DA.Fill(DT);
GridView1.DataSource = DT;
GridView1.DataBind();
if (DT != null) {
DataView dataView = new DataView(DT);
dataView.Sort = e.SortExpression + " " + ConvertSortDirectionToSql(e.SortDirection);
GridView1.DataSource = dataView;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}
private string GridViewSortDirection {
get { return ViewState["SortDirection"] as string ?? "DESC"; }
set { ViewState["SortDirection"] = value; }
}
private string ConvertSortDirectionToSql(SortDirection sortDirection) {
switch (GridViewSortDirection) {
case "ASC":
GridViewSortDirection = "DESC";
break;
case "DESC":
GridViewSortDirection = "ASC";
break;
}
return GridViewSortDirection;
}
}
