Setting SortInfo dynamically

[lionelhutz]

I'm trying to set the SortInfo in code behind (C#). I expected to be able to set it like this:

this.Store1.SortInfo = new SortInfo("MyColumn", Coolite.Ext.Web.SortDirection.DESC);

but that isn't working. I did search for a while, but I've still only seen it set in aspx.

Hi,

Try

Store1.SortInfo.Field = "MyColumn";

Store1.SortInfo.Direction = SortDirection.DESC;

That gave me an error that the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I did not have the SortInfo on my aspx page. I added it to the aspx and it does run successfully. Ideally, I'd prefer to not have to set it on the aspx page and then override it on Page_Load. That being said, it works!!! There's something to be said for that.

Thanks.

Hi,

this.Store1.SortInfo = new SortInfo("MyColumn", Coolite.Ext.Web.SortDirection.DESC);

should works.


Please note that it works during initial Page Load. During AjaxEvent you need to use

Store1.Sort("MyColumn", Coolite.Ext.Web.SortDirection.DESC);

It was being called during an ajax event. That was the issue. I used the code you gave for an ajax event and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
