hi,

I am trying to create a web custom control- a grid view that inherits from the system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview class,,

the functionality that i am trying to add to this custom control is-sorting with up and down arrow keys on the header,

i found a control on the net that does sorting as i want,,,

but u see the problem is that the custom control does sorting with images only when bound through an sqldatasource either directly by placing a datasource control on my aspx page or by programmatically creating one in the page load

when i try binding the custom control using a dataset , i am unable to sort with the images-up and down arrow keys,,

i have created handlers for sort event so sorting occurs through the header links but the iamges don't show


i would really appreciate any help from ur side

You can programmatically set a gridview column's headertext (which can be html). So in your procedure that handles the sorting, you could do the following and change the image source depending on the sort direction.
