Retrieve GridView column header text on sort

How do I programmatically retrieve GridView column header text on a
BoundField when the user click on the header sort button?

I know about the GridView columns collection, but how do I get the column id
that corresponds with the sort button that the user clicked on?

Thanks in advance,

Necqui

Hi Necqui,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
As for the retrieving and setting a certain BoundField's Header text in
GridView, based on my research, since the GridView's Columns collection
only support index accessor, I'm afraid currently we have to loop through
the Columns collection and compare each Field's SortExpression with the
current sorting column and get the correct sorting column we want. and the
GridView's sorting event is the proper place to put the code. Also, if it
is possible that we hard code a function which help mapping sortexpression
string to an int index, that'll be much better for performance
consideration. (But for dynamically peform such task, we have to loop the
columns collection).

Thanks,
