Hi;

If I want paging for a GridView I can't return a collection, I have to
return a DataView, DataTable, or DataSet (at least that is what the error
message I got says). Any suggestions as to what is best if it is just rows
from one table in a database from a select? My guess is DataTable.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your post!

"If I want paging for a GridView I can't return a collection"
I have bit confusion about this. In my opinion, we can return the
collection which is data source of the GridView control.

"Any suggestions as to what is best if it is just rows from one table in a

Yes, you are correct. The DataTable is appropriated.

Hi;

Sorry - sorting, not paging. If I have sorting enabled and sort a column on
a grid view I passed a collection, it tells me it must be a DataTable, ...

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply!

Could you please supply your code snippet for sorting the column? It will
help me to perform the testing and figure out some results or factors.
Thanks for your understanding!

I'm looking forward your reply.
