Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
public DefaultBoolean AllowSort { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property AllowSort As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	True to enable sorting. False to disable sorting. Default to control the column’s behavior at the control level (the ASPxGridBehaviorSettings.AllowSort property).

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

Specify the AllowSort property to control sorting at the column level.

If the column’s AllowSort property is set to Default, the control determines the column’s behavior at the control level, based on the ASPxGridBehaviorSettings.AllowSort property value.
