Anyone know I can I sort a gridview by a specific column? Basically I want to just open the gridview sorted by course_title bu the xml source is not sorted and the gridview displays in the same order
The following gridview is based on an xml datasource.
Thanks
Wing
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="course_id" HeaderText="Course ID">
<ItemStyle Width="100px" />
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Course Title" SortExpression="course_tit
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextB
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# XPath("course_title")%>'><
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="240px" />
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Duration">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextB
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# XPath("course_duration")%>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="100px" />
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>

Yes I understand but woudn't that be more efficient with sql data?
How could I bind an xml file to a dataset?
I have actually sorted (as it were) my problem now but am interested in seeing this other approach.
To sort things out I had to write an xsl file that reformats the xml file into another sorted xml file before the gridview binds to it.
HI There,
binding to a dataset:
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void MyGridView_PreRender(objec
{
// Creates a DataSet and loads it with an Xml Content
DataSet aDataSet = new DataSet();
aDataSet.ReadXml(new StringReader(aXmlDoc.Outer
// Bind the DataSet to the grid view
GridView gv = (GridView)sender;
gv.DataSource = aDataSet;
gv.DataBind();
}
}

HI There,
Lots of information is available on this subject.

or
One possible solution:
System.Data.
DataView dv = new System.Data.DataView(MyDat
Then sort the DataView: -
dv.Sort = "mycol DESC"
Then bind the GridView to the DataView: -
gridView1.DataSource = dv;
gridView1.DataBind();
