Property Value

One of the SortDirection values.

When the Sorting event is raised, you can use the SortDirection property to determine the order in which the GridView control will sort its items (based on the sort expression) when the sort operation is performed. Because the Sorting event occurs before the sort operation, you can also use the SortDirection property to programmatically set the sort direction.

The following example demonstrates how to use the SortDirection property to determine the direction in which to sort a GridView control. If the user attempts to sort in descending order, the sort operation is canceled.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
