'Gridview1' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled

Vincent

Hi,

I created a gridview bound to the roles tables with this code:
rolesArray = Roles.GetAllRoles()
Gridview1.DataSource = rolesArray
Gridview1.DataBind()

The gridview has following classic properties:
<asp:GridView runat="server" id="Gridview1" AllowPaging="True"
AllowSorting="true"
pagesize="3" />

When clicking on the bar containing the pagenumber of the gridview in order
to go the next page, i get:
"The GridView 'Gridview1' fired event PageIndexChanging which wasn't
handled."

When i click on the field for sorting, i get the error:
"The GridView 'Gridview1' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled"

Thanks for help

That's because you haven't wired up the paging and sorting events...

<asp:GridView runat="server" id="Gridview1"
AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="true" pagesize="3"
OnPageIndexChanging="Gridview1_PageIndexChanging"
OnSorting="Gridview1_Sorting"
/>

protected void Gridview1_PageIndexChanging(object sender,
GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
// do something
}

protected void Gridview1_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
{
// do something
}

Thanks for your reply.

Normally, when creating a gridview bound to a sqldatasource, the sorting /
paging occur automatically. This is new to me so what code do you mean with
// do something
Does it exist something like 'sort' or 'paging' ...?

Yes, but you're not using the SqlDataSource directly i.e. you're not setting
the GridView's DataSourceID property - instead, you're using a custom object
as the GridView's datasource e.g.
rolesArray = Roles.GetAllRoles()
Gridview1.DataSource = rolesArray
Gridview1.DataBind()

That's why you need to add event handlers for the sorting and paging
functionality manually:

Hi Mark,

i used the code you gave me but there is an error when sorting only:
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.String[]' to type
'System.Data.DataTable' "
at line: Dim dt As DataTable = Gridview1.DataSource

i tried several things (using string() instead of Datatable ...) but could
not find the solution.

the whole code:
Protected Sub Gridview1_Sorting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewSortEventArgs) Handles Gridview1.Sorting
Dim dt As DataTable = Gridview1.DataSource
If Not IsDBNull(dt) Then
Dim dv As DataView = New DataView(dt)
dv.Sort = e.SortExpression
Gridview1.DataSource = dv
Gridview1.DataBind()
End If
End Sub

Well, there would be... A DataTable is a DataTable datatype (obviously!),
but a GridView's DataSource is an object datatype so that various datatypes
can be used as datasources for databound controls - you can't dimension a
DataTable as an object directly... I can only imagine that you're not using
Option Strict, otherwise I'm pretty sure your code wouldn't have compiled -
it certainly wouldn't have compiled in C#...
i tried several things (using string() instead of Datatable ...) but could

Try this:

Hmm - OK... What datatype is GridView1.DataSource? Can it even be cast to a
DataTable type...?

The datasource are the roles from the table 'aspnet_roles' created when
creating membership users:
so the datasource is of type array string.

dim rolesArray() As String
rolesArray = Roles.GetAllRoles()
Gridview1.DataSource = rolesArray
Gridview1.DataBind()

Thanks

OK, so the datasource for the GridView *isn't* a DataTable - it's a string
array... That's fine, of course, except that you're trying to dimension a
DataTable variable and populate it with a string array - that's never going
to work without an explicit conversion...

In the link I suggested, the sorting method relies on the fact that the
datasource of the GridView is a DataTable, from which a DataView object can
be created. This isn't the case with string arrays, so you'll have to write
your own sorting routine - something like this:

If you are setting the DataSource of your GridView programmatically, set its DataSourceID property instead of DataSource; suddenly you'll be able to use the default sorting function.

'Gridview1' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled
Hi Mark..

I have a similar problem. My array is a type of an object and not a string array or anything like that. My array looks like this in the gridview:

Nr Contact Nr Customer Nr Date .... and so on
-- ---------- ----------- ---- ....
s1 K123 123 31.01.08
s2 K123 123 30.01.08
s3 K123 123 25.01.08

I want to sort by Nr (allowing the user to click on the header link for sorting).

I have tried numerous solutions to try and sort this gridview and I am absolutely at a wall.

My datasource looks like this:

servOrders = new GetServiceOrders();

ServiceHeader.ServHead[] tempOrders = new ServiceHeader.ServHead[100];

tempOrders = servOrders.GetServHeadByCustNo((string)Session["CustomerNo"], "Pending|In Process");

GridView2.DataSource = tempOrders;
GridView2.Databind();

I must use this way for datasource because it comes out of a deeper web service that gets the data live from Microsoft Navision (ie... the fields can change at anytime and the fields must be dynamic).

The temp order that is returned has 26 dimensions
(for example say 3 rows returned and in each row there is x amount of dimensions (field property and field value):
{0} --
Nr - Nr
Nr.value - S1
Contact_Nr - Contact Nr
Contact_Nr.value - K123
... and so one
{1} --
Nr - Nr
Nr.value - S2
Contact_Nr - Contact Nr
Contact_Nr.value - K123
... and so one

How on earth do I sort this?? I can't put it into a datatable.. I tried that and the datatable kept returning as null.

Help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
