create a dataview from a datagrid

[William French]

Does anyone know how to create a dataview from a datagrid. The
examples I see for sorting are persisting the dataset, datatable, or
dataview in viewstate. It seems like a waste for the datagrid and the
dataview to both be stored in viewstate. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Bill,
One way is to set the DataView Table property to the table that you use
to populate the grid.

Dim dv as New DataView
dv.table = yourDataSet.yourTable
dv.sort "IDField DESC"
DataGrid1.DataSource = dv
DataGrid1.DataBind
