GridView Sorting

[PranavThakur]

Hi, I was trying to sort a GridView programitically but my code is throwing an System.StackOverflowException.Please have a look at the code below and reply what wrong I m doing. protected void GridView2_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e) { GridView2.Sort("CarrierCode", SortDirection.Descending); } CarrierCode is the name of a column above. Thanks.

You are getting a stack overflow operation because this event occurs when the hyperlink to sort a column is clicked, but before the GridView control handles the sort operation. GridView.Sorting Event [^] What is happening is your GridView2_Sorting function is executing which calls the sort method. This in turn will cause your GridView2_Sorting function to handle the sorting event thus getting stuck in a loop until the stack overflow exception is raised. See C# GridView Sorting at http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/ctrlref/data/gridview.aspx[^] for help with sorting.
