DataGrid, how to determine which column is being sorted on

[paul]

Hi,

I've a DataGrid and a DataSet (not a DataView) as the DataSource.
Users can click on column headers and sort the contents of the DataGrid.
I want to know how to determine which column is being used to order the sorted data.
I can't see in the microsoft DataGrid in vb.net the Event 'SortCommand'.
I think that its because I'm using vb.net not asp.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

Everything you wanted to know about the datagrid.
http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c44c.asp

When it is not there it will be hard to find.

I hope this helps?

I have the same quesiton and this was the first place I looked. I see using
the bindingmanagerbase to do this, but I don't know where to put this. What
event is it when the user sorts? I want this to fire automatically after
the sort occurs, but I'm not sure where to stick the code that is on this
link to reference that row.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,

There isn't a sort event. On the mousedown event for the datagrid
check and see if the person clicked on a columnheader.
