Bind Gridview With Data

For binding the gridview, we will use SQLDataSource. See the following code

<asp:GridView ID="gvTest" runat="server" DataSourceID="dsTest" ></asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ConnectionString="conn_string" ID="dsTest" 
            SelectCommand="Select * from Member" runat="server"  />

Add Property For Sorting

Add AllowSorting property in gridview and set its value to true. So the preceding code will be changed to

<asp:GridView ID=”gvTest” runat=”server” DataSourceID=”dsTest" AllowSorting="true"></asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ConnectionString="conn_string" ID="dsTest" 
            SelectCommand="Select * from Member" runat="server"  />

Output

Now run the application.
