Hello there,
I am updating an asp.net application to implement caching - I have stored a
list of menu information that is diplayed in a dataset and filter it at
runtime using a dataview based on the area of the system the user is in.
I have done this by having the menu name, url and then a list of
hash-delimited IDs that is then filtered on at runtime to display the correct
menus for the area that the user is in:
Page 1, Page1.aspx, #1#5#8#7#
Page 2, Page2.aspx, #2#5#8#6#
Page 3, Page3.aspx, #2#4#8#6#
So, when somebody in area ID 5 views the menu they see pages 1 and 2,
through adding a filter to the dataview:
objDataView.RowFilter = "IDList LIKE '%#5#%'"
This works fine but now I need to add in some level of sortation dependant
upon the ID that is passed in, i.e. if ID 8 is passed I may want to see the
menu displayed in a different order to if, say 5 was passed in.
Would it be possible to add an order into my IDList (perhaps adding an ID
followed by a semicolon then the order number) and somehow have the dataview
order by part of a column rather than the whole column?
Cheers,
