| Hy there!For the past few weeks, I am trying to learn the ASP.NET MVC platform. Right now, I am working on displaying a table which can be sorted, filtered, and paged.During the weekend, I managed to stumble upon a keyword (I think) in an example which got me very very puzzled. Here is the snippet:[code]return this.SortAscending ? "it.["+ this.SortBy + "]" + "asc" : "it.[" + this.SortBy + "]" + "desc".My simple question is: what does "it" stand for?Thank you very much for your answers!Per aspera ad astra! (and a bit of luck, too) |

| I don't think it is a keyword. It is a table name (or an alias for a table name) in your database. If you print out the SQL statement that is generated by the code that calls this, you will see something like "it.AColumnName asc" or it.AColumnName desc". |

What does the it keyword stand for?
