grid view sorting and paging

[puja]

hi all,

am using grid view in asp.net 2.0 . My problem is easy but can't get it to
work.

My grid view id = grdContract and am binding grid view using dataset My
dataset returns 5 columns from sql database and I have auto generate columns
= true for grdContract

grdContract.DataSource = ........dataset returned by a function

grdContract.DataBind();

Now I want to to enable sorting on each column header and and also allow
paging. Could you please cause I can't get it to work.

Do i need to have template columns instead ?

pls help

I used this tutorial to get sorting/paging working in my app:

Look at lesson 3 (DataBinding), around 20 minutes into it.
