[Solved] SortedBackColor with client-side data binding

[jormo josh]

I'm using Q3 2009 SP2

Does SortedBackColor (in SortingSettings) work with client-side data binding using GetBindingData() ?  I'm using GetBindingData() in a web service, and all works great including sorting the data, but I can't get SortedBackColor to work.  If this property is not available with client-side databinding, is there another way to do it?

Thanks.

Hello Jormo,

When the RadGrid is bound  via client-side binding it transfers JSON from client-to-server-to-client in order to bind/page/sort/filter on the client. So you could not change its style when the sorting is performed. The JSON does not keep any data for the RadGrid visual appearance it only keeps the actual data of the RadGrid.
A possible workaround is to change the background color of the column manually via JavaScript into the client side OnCommand event.

<ClientSettings>
    <ClientEvents OnCommand="OnCommand" />
</ClientSettings>

 In OnCommand event handler you could check out if the command name is "Sort" and if it is you could apply custom style to all cells in the column by which the RadGrid is sorted.

function OnCommand (sender, args) {
  if(args.get_commandName() == "Sort")
  {
    // Change the background color.
     ...
  }
}

I hope this helps.
