Improving the Sort Arrows GridView Control (2/6/2008)
http://aspwire.com/nl?18199
[article] While the GridView control offer built-in, bi-
directional sorting support, there is no visual feedback as
to what column the data is sorted by. To remedy this
shortcoming, I showed how to create a custom server control
that extended the GridView class and automatically added
arrow up and down images to the appropriate column header,
thereby clearly showing what column the data was sorted by
and whether the data was sorted in ascending or descending
order. Read Extending the GridView to Include Sort Arrows
for more information on this technique.

CSS integration with its controls, making it easier to
change appearances via CSS.
