SortCommand Event in DataGrid

[Manav]

Hi,

I am creating a datagrid control at runtime. When i set the
AutoGenerateColumns property to true the sortcommnd event gets fired but
when i set the same property to false the sortcommand event doesnot get
fired itself. Does anybody have any idea about it


Cheers,
Manav

Manav, do you set the SortExpression property for each of the columns you
are adding to the DataGrid? To indicate that an explicitly added column
is "sortable" you need to set its SortExpression property explicitly.
(When using AutoGenerateColumns="True", the SortExpression is
automatically set to the name of the field being bound to the column...)

Happy Programming!
