Cannot sort columns.

[David Sandor]

Hi, I am having a wierd problem with the WPF RadGridView control 10.1.

I am binding an ObservableCollection<> of POCO's that implement INotifyPropertyChanged and that is all.  The properties of the class are all strings.  That observable collection is databound to the ItemsSource property.  The data is bound just fine, CanUserSort is true for the control and IsSortable is true on the columns. 

Is there some sort of interface that the POCO must implement in order to sort? 

Thanks,
David Sandor

Hi,

Can you post more info about how you grid (and columns) are declared/created? Generally RadGridView can sort any IComparable property.

All the best,

Here is the XAML for the GridView.

                                 CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" CanUserInsertRows="False"
                                 CanUserReorderColumns="False" CanUserResizeColumns="True" CanUserSelect="True"  MinColumnWidth="100" ShowGroupPanel="False"
                                 CanUserSortColumns="True" IsReadOnly="True"
                                  AutoGenerateColumns="False"  Background="Black" ItemsSource="{Binding InventoryOnHand}" Margin="15" >
                <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn Header="PeopleSoftID" IsSortable="True">
                        <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

                            <DataTemplate>
                                <Button Margin="5" Height="30" Content=" USE " Click="Button_Click" Tag="{Binding RFIDTagID}" />

                    </telerik:GridViewColumn>
                </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            </telerik:RadGridView>

InventoryOnHand is an ObservableCollection of POCOs that implement INotifyPropertyChanged but not IComparable.  Is that the problem?

Thanks,

Hello David,

You need to set DataMemberBinding for these columns. For example:

...
<telerik:GridViewColumn Header="Item ID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding ItemId}">   
  <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
      <DataTemplate>
          <TextBlock Text="{Binding ItemId}" />
      </DataTemplate>
   </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewColumn>
...

Thanks Vlad.  That worked.. I just needed to also convert the column from a GridViewColumn to a GridViewDataColumn to use the DataMemberBinding property.

Hi David,

Sorry! I've missed that you have GridViewColumn.
