GridView Sort Expression must return not empty data

Question

My program running good. But i try to add up-down icon on my gridView header. but if i make it, My break point should drop below "if comparison" For example; field.SortExpression=Category but every time CustomersGridView.SortExpression is empty when gridview.SortExp is not empty.

foreach (DataControlField field in CustomersGridView.Columns)
    {
      if (field.SortExpression == CustomersGridView.SortExpression)
      {
        return CustomersGridView.Columns.IndexOf(field);
      }
    }

i need :


foreach (DataControlField field in CustomersGridView.Columns)
    {
      if (field.SortExpression == "Category")
      {
        return 2;
      }
    }

CustomersGridView.SortExpression must not be empty!!!!!

I've seen this problem when the gridview's datasourceid isn't set. Perhaps this might help.

It's hard to tell without the aspx source for the gridview and how you're binding. Can you post it?

i refreshed my post. Please look above!

Ah, you didn't mention Ajax, that updatepanel makes a big difference. Try adding EnablePartialRendering="true" in scriptmanager.
