Allowsorting not working

[stricknyn]

Hello,

I have the Allowsorting property on my gridview set to true, but for some reason the field headings don't become the sortable links I thought they should. Anyone know why this is happening? I am usng ASP.NET 2.0 and VB 2005.

Just an FYI, I have autogenerating columns set to false.

Thanks,

Strick

Have you defined what data field each column header should sort by?

as above and

Also you need to use a dataset not a datareader (and the xmldatasource doesn't support sorting at all)

My gridview is bound to a datatable.

Timeshifter, if you're referring to setting the sort expression property to the datafield, yes I'm doing this. It does make the headings links, but now it errors when I click the link to sort it

Thanks,

Strick

By the way, the error I get is:

The GridView 'grdComments' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled

Thanks,

Hey Stricknyn,

I just had this problem and instead of manually defining the fields, I set AutoGenerateFields=true, then my columns became sortable...
