DataGrid::OnSortCommand Method

Raises the SortCommand event. This allows you to provide a custom handler for the event.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

protected:
virtual void OnSortCommand(
	DataGridSortCommandEventArgs^ e
)

Use the OnSortCommand method to provide a custom handler for the SortCommand event.

The SortCommand event is raised when a column is sorted.

A typical handler for the SortCommand event sorts the list, and then rebinds the data to the DataGrid control.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

Notes to Inheritors:

When overriding OnSortCommand in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnSortCommand method.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

The following code example demonstrates how to specify and code a handler for the SortCommand event to sort a DataGrid control.
