Using a Web Service

The data displayed is obtained from the web service function, 'GetOrders', which returns an ADO.NET dataset. The dataset is then used to populate the ASP.NET DataGrid.

GetOrders requires one parameter, 'sort_by', a string that tells the function which column to sort the data by. This is initially by the the date in the 'Added' column. Clicking the column headers causes the data to be reload and sorted by that column.

Although in this case, the service is on the same server as the website, it could be on any server on the internet.
