GridViewSortEventArgs::SortDirection Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the direction in which to sort the GridView control.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
public: property SortDirection SortDirection { SortDirection get(); void set(SortDirection value); }
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.
