datagrid sorting

Mike P

I have just written my first page with a datagrid that allows ASC and
DESC sorting. But I want to know how I can get it so that the header
shows the type of sorting that has just been done on it (i.e. Column1
DESC). Also I would need to be able to remove this from the last column
that was sorted on so that it now says just Column2.

private void Page_Load()

'63493' AND '63545' ORDER BY Lognum DESC";
BindData(Convert.ToString(Session["CallLog"]));
}
else
{
string lastSortColumn= (string)ViewState["LastSortColumn"];
string lastSortOrder= (string)ViewState["LastSortOrder"];
}
}

//cache can't be used as is Application level

different ODN etc)

{

SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["strConnectTransitTest"]
);
SqlDataAdapter objDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(strCallLog,
objConnection);
DataSet objDataSet = new DataSet();

DataTable objDataTable = new DataTable();
objDataAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "tblCallLog");

Session["LogData"] = objDataSet.Tables["tblCallLog"].DefaultView;
dgLog.DataSource = Session["LogData"];
dgLog.DataBind();
}

void dgLog_Paged(object sender, DataGridPageChangedEventArgs e)
{

Mike,

DataGrid1.Columns(0).HeaderText = "Column 1 Desc"

Where: Columns([zero based column index])

Thanks for your help Justin. I decided not to do it a slightly
different way as it's what my users would prefer, but it's really useful
to know there is another way to solve this problem as well.

Cheers,

Mike
