Using the Gridview.Sorting and Gridview.Sorted Events

Tuesday, April 08, 2008 11:53:34 AM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00) ( ASP.NET | Gridview )

If you're using a SQLDataSource, it's pretty simple to add sorting to a Gridview. But often times we need some specific event to occur when we sort a column such as change the text in a label control, add ASC or DESC up and down arrows to indicate how a Gridview is being sorted, databind some other object on the page etc. Below are two examples - the first one uses the Gridview.Sorting event and the last one uses Gridview.Sorted.

<script runat="server">

  Sub CustomersGridView_Sorting(sender As Object, e As GridViewSortEventArgs)

    ' Cancel the sorting operation if the user attempts
    ' to sort by address.
    If e.SortExpression = "Address" Then

      e.Cancel = True
      Message.Text = "You cannot sort by address."
      SortInformationLabel.Text = ""

    Else

      Message.Text = ""

    End If

  End Sub

  Sub CustomersGridView_Sorted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

    ' Display the sort expression and sort direction.
    SortInformationLabel.Text = "Sorting by " & _
      CustomersGridView.SortExpression.ToString() & _
      " in " & CustomersGridView.SortDirection.ToString() & _
      " order."

  End Sub

</script>

<html  >
  <head runat="server">
    <title>GridView Sorted and Sorting Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">

      <h3>GridView Sorted and Sorting Example</h3>

      <asp:label id="Message"
        forecolor="Red"
        runat="server"/>

      <br/>

      <asp:label id="SortInformationLabel"
        forecolor="Navy"
        runat="server"/>

      <br/>  

      <asp:gridview id="CustomersGridView" 
        datasourceid="CustomersSource" 
        autogeneratecolumns="true"
        allowpaging="true"
        emptydatatext="No data available." 
        allowsorting="true"
        onsorting="CustomersGridView_Sorting"
        onsorted="CustomersGridView_Sorted"  
        runat="server">

      </asp:gridview>

<asp:sqldatasource .... />
