im afraid i need to add items into the headerrow for each column (sort buttons). I dont understand why it works PERFECTLY for the original page but not the new page when its a copy and paste job pretty much.

the default page is doing nothing really. has a button to execute a report, which calls SQL, fills a datatable and binds it to the gridview. Same as what this new page is doing.

just makes no sense to me.

Ive noticed that when say we click on a button either in a datarow or a header on this new page in the gridview, that nothing happens but makes the gridview disappear!
