Sorting Question

[Developer]

Hi,

I have a radgrid that has 3 columns.  The first two are databound and the last is a gridtemplate column.

Initially only the first two rows are populated via a sql data source.  Then on the itemdatabound event I take a values from the first columns and use this derive a new value which is then added into the label control on the tempatecolumn.

 

This works fine up until the point I need to sort.  Sorting works on the first two columns but not on the template one.

Have I reached a limitation or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

I am afraid this requirement is not supported. RadGrid needs to use an existing field in the data source in order to apply filtering, sorting, grouping, etc.

As a workaround, you can extract your values in a DataTable and include an additional column which you can fill manually:

Hope this helps.
