AllowSort Property
See Also  Example
Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid Assembly > Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid Namespace > GroupByControl Class : AllowSort Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the sort direction of the columns in the corresponding grid or detail can be modified by the end user through the group-by control.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property AllowSort As Boolean
C# 
public bool AllowSort {get; set;}

Return Value

true if the sort direction of the columns in the corresponding grid or detail can be modified by the end user; false otherwise.

Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
The following example demonstrates how to bind a grid to the Orders table and prevent columns from being sorted and reordered and groups from being created or removed. By default, the ShipCountry and ShipCity columns will be sorted, grouped, and fixed.

Remarks

The AllowSort property only affects end-user interaction and does not prevent columns from being sorted programmatically.

Requirements

Supported Frameworks: Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5
