true if columns can be sorted; otherwise, false.
Examples
The following code example toggles the AllowSorting property.
private:
void ToggleAllowSorting()
{
// Toggle the AllowSorting property.
dataGrid1->AllowSorting = !dataGrid1->AllowSorting;
}
private void ToggleAllowSorting()
{
// Toggle the AllowSorting property.
dataGrid1.AllowSorting = ! dataGrid1.AllowSorting;
}
Private Sub ToggleAllowSorting()
' Toggle the AllowSorting property.
DataGrid1.AllowSorting = Not DataGrid1.AllowSorting
End Sub
Remarks
This property is overridden by the DataGridTableStyle.AllowSorting property if there is a DataGridTableStyle currently in effect for the control.
If sorting is allowed, clicking on a column header will sort the table data by that column.
You can also sort using an expression for a DataColumn. See Expression for details on creating a sort expression.
If the System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid is bound to a DataView, you can set a custom sort for the table using the DataView class's Sort property. Similarly, if the System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid is bound to a DataViewManager, each table in the DataViewManager can have a custom sort by setting the DataViewSettings class's Sort property.
