Question

I have a list binding on a gridview.

HistoryGrid.DataSource = objGrid;
HistoryGrid.DataBind();

AllowSorting="true" AllowPaging="True"  

<asp:BoundField HeaderText="hits" DataField="numberOfHits" 
  SortExpression="numberOfHits" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" />

This doesn`t work. What else do I need?

Answer 1

If you use a list object as DataSource then your sorting function will not work.

You can use a DataTable as DataSource to your Gridview and then it will work.
