Get property bound to column

[TMatt]

Hey,

i have a RadGrid bound to a collection of entities i fetch from a webservice:

[DataContract(Name="customer")]
    public class Customer : EntityBase
    {
        private string name;
        [DataMember(Name = "name")]
        [Required]
        public string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return name;
            }
            set
            {
                if (this.name != value)
                {
                    this.name = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged("Name");
                }
            }
        }
       ...
   }
}

As i have to do server-side sorting, i need to build a query string from the property of my model the clicked column is bound to. Any idea how i can retrieve the DataMember Name from the column in this event?

private void RadGridView_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortingEventArgs e)

        {

                        

            string sortDirection;

            string sortColumn; // needs to be "name" for the name column


 

            if (e.NewSortingState == SortingState.Descending)

                sortDirection = " DESC";

            else

            {

                e.NewSortingState = SortingState.Ascending;

                sortDirection = " ASC";

            }

 

            this.vm.Customers.OrderBy = sortColumn + sortDirection;

            this.vm.Customers.IsBusy = true;

            this.vm.Customers.Retrieve();

 

 

        }

Hello,

In the arguments of the Sorting you could find the column that is sorted on (e.Column). You could get the Name of the column itself.

Does this work for you?
