For extending control functionality like this  I like to use extension methods so that it can be reused easily   Here is a starter extensions file that contains an extension to disable sorting on a datagridview   To use it  just include it in your project and call like this  myDatagridView DisableSorting     In my case  I added this line of code in the DataBindingComplete eventhandler of the DataGridView where I wanted sorting disabled  Imports System ComponentModel Imports System Reflection Imports System Runtime CompilerServices Imports System Windows Forms  Public Module Extensions   lt Extension   gt  Public Sub DisableSorting datagrid As DataGridView      For index   0 To datagrid Columns Count - 1         datagrid Columns index  SortMode   DataGridViewColumnSortMode NotSortable     Next End Sub   End Module
