Sorting The Easy Way
If you have a list of objects, say List<Widget> it’s mighty easy to to sort them using .NET.
First, derive the Widget class from IComparable:
public class Widget : IComparable
Then create the CompareTo method. In this case, we’re sorting the list of Widgets by name:
public int CompareTo(object obj)
{
if( !(obj is SynthProfile ))
{
return 0; // We could throw an exception here if we wanted to.
}
return this.Name.CompareTo(((SynthProfile)obj).Name);
}
Once that’s done all you have to do is call:
WidgetList.Sort();
Easy.
