How to convert a GridView to DataTable and sort the DataTable?

问题

I want to convert my GridView to a DataTable. Note: The GridView doesn't have a DataSource! I want to sort the DataTable and put it back to the GridView, is it possible? Important is that my GridView must be sorted.

Thank you in advance.

Put your DataTable in a ViewState when you bind for the first time.

gridView1.DataBind();
ViewState["dtbl"] = YourDataTable

and then do like...

protected void ComponentGridView_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
{
    DataTable dataTable = ViewState["dtbl"] as DataTable;

    if (dataTable != null)
    {
        DataView dataView = new DataView(dataTable);
        dataView.Sort = e.SortExpression + " " + ConvertSortDirection(e.SortDirection);

        ComponentGridView.DataSource = dataView;
        ComponentGridView.DataBind();
    }
}

private string ConvertSortDirection(SortDirection sortDirection)
{
    string newSortDirection = String.Empty;

    switch (sortDirection)
    {
        case SortDirection.Ascending:
            newSortDirection = "ASC";
            break;

        case SortDirection.Descending:
            newSortDirection = "DESC";
            break;
    }

    return newSortDirection;
}
