i've display a dataTable in a repeater, how can filter the display?

Hi, I'm not sure exactly how you're doing the handling of the datatable and repeater, in any case you should be able to cause a postback when a header is clicked, and to filter the datatable use the RowFilter property of the DefaultView:

myDataTable.DefaultView.RowFilter = "lastname = 'smith'";

hi joex911,

do you like porshe cars?
here 's the way i'm handling the datatable and repeater.


html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<TABLE>
  <TR>
      <TD class="td_ca_ecolog_6">level min</TD>
      <TD class="td_ca_ecolog_7">volume</TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

<asp:Panel id="panelEcologsZoneWrapper" class="cu_ecologZoneWrapper" runat="server">
      <table id="sub_account_zone" border="1px" >
            <asp:Repeater ID="repEcolog" Runat="server" OnItemDataBound="treatItem" >
                  <ItemTemplate>
                        <tr style="over:red;color:grey;" onmouseover="this.className='over'" onmouseout="this.className=''">
                                     <td class="td_ca_ecolog_5">&nbsp;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "depth_min") %></td>
                              <td class="td_ca_ecolog_6">&nbsp;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "volume") %></td>
                              </tr>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                  </asp:Repeater>
            </table>      
</asp:Panel>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
code behind:
....
      repEcolog.DataSource = controller_.FetchEcologList();      
      repEcolog.DataBind();
....
i have a table for headers because i want them fix, when i scroll the values.
my controller return the dataTable right to the repeater, but i could get it to a local dataTable of the page
(would it make it faster instead of recreating a method in controller?)
what i need to know is where to launch the filter, with javascript on the header
something out of the repeater ?

i need to reorder increasing or decreasing, i want my header links as toogle buttons, once click filter increasing,
once clicked again filter decreasing.


note: you can see that i have a treatItem method, it's empty it's doing anything.

Ok, so what you want to do is sort the table in ascending or descending order, not filter the results? I think that for this it be easier if you use a DataGrid control (.NET 1.1) or a GridView control (.NET 2.0), they provide the means to add the sorting functionality to your data.

i'm gonna try with dataGrid as i'm using .NET 1.1

hem! anywas, is there a possibility to do ti via my poor repeater?

You could do it with the repeater, maybe use a asp:hyperlink for the headers off each column, then on the click event apply a sort to your datatable, also you need to keep track in a session variable if it should be ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC):

if(session["SortDir"].ToString() == "ASC")
  DataTable.Sort = "Column DESC";
else
  DataTable.Sort = "Column ASC";

Select allOpen in new window

shure, i found that
dtTemp.DefaultView.Sort = "weight DESC";
would sort my table on my weight column,

but how to fire the event to be able to sort this in code behind?
i can not add event to the hyperlink, only javascript.

thanks a lot ,
i succeed with your help.
