View 2 RepliesModerators Note: THIS ISSUE IS BIG FOR ME AND EVEN IF POSSIBLE, GET THE REPLY FROM THE DESIGNER OF GRIDVIEW. I have been looking for him for long. I am really fed up with reviewing a good lot of web pages on how we can possibly customize the gridview to enable sorting and paging. So many sites have listed out a lot of information and so many guidances. But the problem is that one works out fine and the other is a burden. I really feel bad about being given the job of customizing this kind of a gridview which has no user friendly approach to it. Also, this control is rendered without the pager links inside the <tfoot> tag. I have tried the Pear Pager in php. It is that good and easy to use and compared to that, the gridview in asp.net is the worst ever control i have ever tried so far.
1. i can use the images to indicate the sorting direction
2. I can have the custom pager like
[code]
<<Previous 1 2 3 .. 7 Next >>.
[/code]
When i click the next when i am viewing the page at 3 , the pager links should change as
[code]
<<Previous 2 3 4 .. 7 Next >>
[/code]
Kindly look into this type of requirement and firstly tell me whether this is possible with the gridview control. I would like this request even to be escalated to the designers of the gridview control also, so that Microsoft comes out with a reply THAT WORKS and not the kind of stuff like surfing through a lot of links and pages and finally wasting a lot of days precious time and still breaking the head with this useless control. I have spent a lot of time in searching for a perfect way. Not writing a code that is non-standard. I am really serious b'cos I have spent weeks in customizing this control. If I dont get a solid reply atleast now, I am going to generate all the output by HTML content by custom coding.
ObjectDataSource - Custom Gridview Paging and Sorting?
View 2 Replieshere's a situation and I would appreciate your response.
I have programmatically created the Wizard control:
Page_Load(obj s, evargs e)
{
Wizard ClaimDetailWizard = new Wizard();
foreach(int item in selectedItems)
{
//create new step
//added custom control to new step
//add step to wizard
}
//added wizard to a placeholder on a page
}
Based on List I get from Session i added new steps to my wizard To each step I had added a custom control
Each custom control in tern contains another custom Gridview Control in it.
So here's the problem when the page loads for example for two steps. All is good Wizard does what it's supposed to do.
But when I try to use sorting or paging in that custom Gridview. Somehow it displays the gridview I should see in the next step of the wizard.
Also what I'm noticing through debugging. Is that when I press next in the wizard I go back to the original page where I do all of the code specified above, and it recreates the wizzard. But it goes to the next step. Is this the way wizard supposed to work? Just doesn't seem very efficient.
All of my columns are bound in the Gridview. On OnRowDataBound event, I am adding some custom styles like underlines and colors to the text of the columns. Sorting of data is working fine but I am losing my custom styles when I sort. I am using the generic sorting code for the GridView.
How I can keep my custom styles on sorting that I added during OnRowDataBound event.
I want to sort my gridview binded to an object datasource fetching business objects. I have already implemented custom paging & now want to implement sorting. Just read this article but there is lot of concatenation going on there with the SQL Query.

I'm coding a report page.In this page,there are two date fields for user to filter the date and the GridView is filled depending on these dates in the CodeBehind (When user click the button view).Now I want toimplement a paging/sorting feature for this GridView.I've researched and see there are default paging for GridView which is not very efficient (my report table may have thousands of records) and custom paging but this requires using ObjectDataSource (which I don't use).Thus anyone can recommend me some approaches that are best used in this situation?
View 1 RepliesI got a web page, it has a tabcontainer, within each tab, there will be a gridview, all the tabs and gridview are created at run-time, i have only one code, that I will loop through to create all those tabs and gridview. When I apply the sorting, and I click on the column name on any grid, it returned an error saying index was out of bound. BUT, when there is only ONE grid view created, it is working fine, I suspect it mixed up all the grid view's id and so on. But I have assigned different ID to gridview

that aspx page contains gridview that contain one more gridview inside in it.Now i want to sort out both the grid i.e)claimgrid and Gdclmline1 i want code in c#.
I'm trying to extend the GridView control to enable sorting and paging for any situation.
When using my control I am fetching data from a database and filling a DataSet with it, then binding the GridView upon every page load. My first question would be, is this the correct approach?
To sort the GridView I am overriding the OnSorting method which stores the sort expression and direction in the ViewState, then creates a DataView and utalises the Sort method to sort the underlying data. It then sets the Data Source to this DataView and rebinds the GridView.
Paging is handled by OnPageIndexChanging which simply sets the PageIndex property and again rebinds the GridView.
My problem is; when any control causes a postback my GridView is no longer sorted, presumably because it is persistently rebound. If I don't rebind it then the GridView is empty on postback since the data isn't automatically stored in the ViewState. I have considered saving the data source in the ViewState but I would assume that this is bad practice for large amounts of data? - also DataViews are not seralisable.
The only solution I can think of currently is to override OnDataBound and sort the data every time. This results in a double sort when paging triggers a postback which seems inefficient. Code illustration of this below,
[Code]....
I'm looking for the cleanest 'best practice' solution as this is a learning exercise more than anything else.
I am using GridView to display data using BLL
Grid view in my aspx file:

My Gridview sorting only works only one way means it works only desc order not by asc order.
below is my code:
Public Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Gridview1.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub Submit_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Submit.Click
Gridview1.DataSourceID = Nothing

I'm trying to sort GridView but I have problem with converting DataSource to DataTable. Object of DataTable is empty. I don't know how to convert it.Do you have any ideas? Here is my code:
private void SortGridView(string sortExpression, string direction)
{
DataTable dt = GridViewDzialania.DataSource as DataTable;
DataView dv = new DataView(dt);
dv.Sort = sortExpression + direction;
GridViewDzialania.DataSource = dv;
GridViewDzialania.DataBind();
}

View 2 RepliesI set Allowsorting="true" but sorting is not working in my GridView.Here is code of aspx page:
[Code]...
I have a single gridview and multple objectDataSources. Based on the user's input I bind the correct objectDataSource to the gridview in the OnClick handler when they click 'search'. ThegridView/ObjectDataSource have customPaging enabled and all that works, but I can't get the sorting to work. The sorting works when I have 1 ODS dedicated to 1 GV, but since it is set on the fly, no dice. It complains that I need to have a 'GridView1_Sorting' event. I think the answer lies in some how sorting the data inside of the ODS programmatically, but I don't know.

I have a gridview that can be sorted by a few of the columns.
How do I tell the gridview to go back to the unsorted mode. That is, go back to listing rows in the order they appear in the datasource.
It's ok if this will only work the next time a rebind is done on the grid. Currently it's maintaining the sort mode after a rebind. I don't want it to do that.
