Gridview Filtering built in function?

Question

Does .NET have some type of built in function that allows filtering on Gridviews? I've always programmed my filters by using a datasource generated by a dynamic stored procedure that takes parameters. But in order to keep the filter row always present I have to place the code to create the controls that are used to filter in three different places when paging is allowed(Page_load,Gridview_Databound,Page_SaveStateComplete) It just seems like there must be a better way. If so, How?
