Thank you, Cerebrus. Yes the error occurred after I checked "Allow Sorting" in the property window. Now I have unchecked this box and the column heading has been black instaed of blue. The error disappeared but there is no sorting now. Please advise.
I did not create the onsorting (empty) handler. If I do and without adding Sort(), there is no error but clicking heading also has no effect. I doubt that Microsoft VS2008 has some fault here.
