This question belongs to FAQ for a long time, but for me as newest in ASP.NET it was not obviously.
So I’d like to present the solution which is mine transformation from ASP.NET 2.0 to ASP.NET 1.1 of found in the Internet.
Original solution can be found there.
protected DataGrid myDataGrid;
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
DataBinder();
}
}
// method bind source data to DataGrid control
private void DataBinder()
{
DataView objDataView = new DataView(/* …get DateTable object here … */);
objDataView.Sort = SortExpression;
myDataGrid.DataSource = objDataView;
myDataGrid.DataBind();
}
// property stores latest sort direction of DataGrid between states
public string SortDirection
{
get
{
return Session[“myDataGridSortDirection”] == null
? “ASC”
: Session[“myDataGridSortDirection”].ToString();
}
set
{
Session[“myDataGridSortDirection”] = value;
}
}
// property stores latest sort experession of DateGrid between states
public string SortExpression
{
get
{
return Session[“myDataGridSortExpression”] == null
? “ID”
: Session[“myDataGridSortExpression”].ToString();
}
set
{
Session[“myDataGridSortExpression”] = value;
}
}
// binding event handlers
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.myDataGrid.ItemCreated
+= new DataGridItemEventHandler(this.myDataGrid_ItemCreated);
this.myDataGrid.SortCommand += new DataGridSortCommandEventHandler(this.myDataGrid_SortCommand);
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
}
// below handler is invoked for render every output item of DataGrid
// this is place and moment when we will add icon image which will show current sort direction
private void myDataGrid_ItemCreated(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Header) return;
if (!e.Item.HasControls()) return;
foreach (Control control in e.Item.Controls)
{
if (!control.HasControls()) continue;
LinkButton button = (LinkButton)control.Controls[0];
if (button != null && SortExpression.IndexOf(button.CommandArgument) != -1)
{
HtmlImage image = new HtmlImage();
image.Src = “images/sort_”
+ ( SortExpression.IndexOf(“ASC”) != -1
? “asc”
: “desc” )
+ “.gif”;
control.Controls.Add(image);
break;
}
}
}
// sort event handler
private void myDataGrid_SortCommand(object source, DataGridSortCommandEventArgs e)
{
SortExpression = e.SortExpression.ToString() + ” “ + SortDirection;
SortDirection = SortDirection == “ASC” ? “DESC” : “ASC”;
DataBinder();
}
}
Comment about SortDirection and SortExpression properties:
I prefer use Session object here, because it gives possibility to restore value, when user left section and then goes back, instead of ViewState, which usually is used for this in almost of solution which I saw in the Internet.
During 22 September when our administrator start to prepare our servers for a journey to new office, my site hasn’t worked and I haven’t marked it because from local network it still works fine 
Before one of my colleagues (Alexander Stankevitch it’s you) told me that he cannot access to my site, I didn’t believe him and told that may be he try use not enough good browser for my site ;), but 1 day ago suddenly I understand that problem really takes place, because IP of hosting server was changed and I need update DNS settings for that. So I did update of DNS and site relive again! Thank you Alexander very much!
