Charles,

Finally there is someone that can present a ASP.NET tutorial which gives me the 'push' to actually get started with moving to ASP.NET.

Hope you have some more of these tutorials in 'the magic head' covering ASP.NET in DWMX.

Thanks

Great article...i was able to follow it and convert it to VB .Net, if anyone wants the code for this drop me a line.

Cheers,

Stephen

I would greatly appreciate the Vb version of this datagrid sorting tutorial. I emailed you Stephen and I REALLY appreciate you And DMXZone!!!

Thanks,

Charlie stephens

Thanks for the code, there is an alternative method that the folks at Dreamweaver put together using the query string, but this seems to be just as fast, and there is no special coding of the CommandText in the dataset.

For those looking for the VB Version of the code:

 dsGrid.DefaultView.Sort=strSort
 
 'Toggle the sort 
   If strASC ="no" Then
    strASC="yes"
   Else

 'Update the DataSet sort method and Attribute Carrier

   dsGrid.DefaultView.Sort +=" Desc"
   dgEmployees.Attributes("SortASC")="no"
  Else
  dsGrid.DefaultView.Sort+=" ASC"
  dgEmployees.Attributes("SortASC")="yes"
  End If
   'Update the DataGrid
   UpdateView()
End Sub
 
Private  Sub UpdateView()
 'Bind the updated DataGrid

This works well, but after I sort, the edit button calls up the wrong row.  Any ideas?  Thanks!
