        End If
End Sub

Protected Sub SortData(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs)
        BindDataGrid(e.SortExpression.ToString())
End Sub

Sub BindDataGrid(ByVal sortfield As String)
        ViewState('SortExpression') = sortfield
        ’Fill the DataSet
        Dim dv As DataView = ds.Tables(0).DefaultView
        dv.Sort = sortfield
        DataGrid1.DataSource = dv
        DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub

Protected Sub ItemDB(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs)
        Dim dv As DataView = DataGrid1.DataSource
        Dim dc As DataColumnCollection = dv.Table.Columns
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then
            If ViewState('SortExpression') <> '' Then
                e.Item.Cells(dc.IndexOf(dc(ViewState('SortExpression')))).BackColor = Color.BlueViolet
                e.Item.Cells(dc.IndexOf(dc(ViewState('SortExpression')))).ForeColor = Color.AntiqueWhite
