Data is been populated properly but at run time when i click on the date column of datagrid it sort it considering it as string and produces wrong search result. can any1 guide related to same.

Post some of your code here. Without looking at code, its difficult to make out where things could be going wrong.

Solution 1

To specify how items are sorted in a DataGrid, you use the SortDescription type to sort the items in the source view.

Solution 3

Hi,
Try this:

VB

DGV.Sort(DGV.Columns("Column_Name"), System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Ascending)
