Hello everyone,

I have a doubt so when i am trying to perform manual sorting , filtering and paging its calling the same method specified in the datasourceurl. As they are calling same method now i m confused how to distinguish them in the method as when i write something for sorting its messing with the filtering code etc.Could you please help me out with this.

Code:

public JsonResult Data12()
{

var absolutepath1 = Request.QueryString.Value;
{
var absolutepath12 = Request.QueryString.Value;
NameValueCollection parse1 = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(absolutepath12);
int skip = Convert.ToInt32(parse1["$skip"]);//number of rows to skip
int top = Convert.ToInt32(parse1["$top"]);// entries to be displayed
string s1 = parse1["$orderby"];
//TO PERFORM PAGING
if (skip != null && top != null && s1 == null || s1=="" )
{
IEnumerable<Student> s = data.paging(top, skip);

return Json(s);
}

Console.WriteLine(parse1 + "hi");
foreach (string keys in parse1.Keys)
{
Console.WriteLine(keys + ":" + parse1[keys]);
}
}
var absolutepath = HttpContext.Request.Query["$orderby"].ToString();
Console.WriteLine(absolutepath1);
Console.WriteLine();
// string? a= HttpUtility.UrlDecode(absolutepath1);
// NameValueCollection parameters = System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(a);
string filter = ApplyFilterExpr(absolutepath1);
Console.WriteLine("filter" + " " + filter);

IEnumerable<Student> sat= data.filter(filter);

if (absolutepath!="")
{
// Code inside the if block
string[] m = absolutepath.Split(' ');
Console.WriteLine("hi");

var colname = m[0]; // to get col name

var orderb1y = m[1];// top get orderby

sat = data.sort(colname, orderb1y);
}

// sat is not accessible here outside the if block
return Json(sat);

// IEnumerable<Student> students = data.GetStudents();

}
