how to have one common function for sorting in a gridview in c# class file

Question

I am developing a custom grid view control. with paging, searching, sorting now I need to write one common function for sorting, searching in different class file

In sorting i am trying to use this function

public SortDirection GridViewSortDirection
{
    get
    {
        if (ViewState["sortDirection"] == null)
            ViewState["sortDirection"] = SortDirection.Ascending;

        return (SortDirection)ViewState["sortDirection"];
    }
    set { ViewState["sortDirection"] = value; }

}

but in c# class file we don't have a viewstate properties. So how can i solve this issue?

If I write one function common for sorting in a class file so that iI can use in all the pages of the gridview where sorting is required.

Any help on this issue would be great.

Thank you.

If your control inherit from System.Web.UI.Control, you have access to a protected ViewState property.
