DataSourceView::CanSort Property
Gets a value indicating whether the DataSourceView object associated with the current DataSourceControl object supports a sorted view on the underlying data source.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the operation is supported; otherwise, false. The default implementation returns false.
A data-bound control can request sorting by adding the Sort field to the DataSourceSelectArguments object passed to the ExecuteSelect method. If a data-bound control requests sorting, but the CanSort property returns false, the data source view throws an exception.
The following code example demonstrates how to override the CanSort property in a class that extends the DataSourceView class. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DataSourceView class.
