Sorted DataSource

[Frederic Loud]

I'm currently using version 3.3 of the GridGroupingControl, I need to retrieve a 'Sorted' copy of my original datasource. All of the methods and properties that I've found return the original datasource without sorting. The version I need is the sorted data after being sorted by the user.

This was possible with the GridDataBoundGrid, is there any way to get this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Fred,

You can use the Table.Records property to get the collection of sorted record elements that are children of a Table. This collection contains all records, it is not filtered. The collection provides support for determining a record's position in the grouped table using the RecordsInTableCollectionBase.IndexOf method.

[c#]
foreach( Record rec in this.grid.Table.Records)
Console.Writeline( rec.Info );

Use Table.UnsortedRecords proeprty to get the collection of unsorted Record elements that are children of a Table and represent the original records in the same order as the underlying data source. The collection provides support for determining a record's underlying position in the datasource using the UnsortedRecordsCollection.IndexOf method.

[c#]
foreach( Record rec in this.grid.Table.UnsortedRecords)
Console.Writeline( rec.Info );

Best regards,
Haneef

Thanks for the info, thats what I was assuming I'd end up having to do. I developed a work around using the Records Collection.
