Re: Can't Figure Out How To Sort On Bind

Why don't u try to sort the arraylist before binding ?
using something like this :
public class MySearchResults
{
public MySearchResults(string aa, string bb, string cc) { }
public class Comparer : System.Collections.IComparer
{
public int Compare(object x, object y)
{
MySearchResultsx1 = x as MySearchResults;
MySearchResultsy1 = y as MySearchResults;
if (x1 == null || y1 == null)
throw new ArgumentException("Wrong type");
else
return string.Compare(x1.aa, y1.bb);
}
}
cheers

You need to get a book about coding basics..
The sort order is not being passed as an argument, it is being concatenated
with the string "searchCache" to create a key for it, so the cache should
countain a copy of the ArrayList with the requested sorting, you're missing
the piece of code where the ArrayList is actually sorted and stored in the
cache.
By the way, storing different copies of the same data but with different
sorting is a very bad practice. I would just store one copy and then sort it
before binding by using the ArrayList's Sort method.

Hi.
I am returning to an old bit of code in our program and need to figure
out how to sort
my columns on bind. I am sorting on Date (mostly) and some other
values.
Problem is, the code is an ArrayList that seems to do some
tricky stuff with a chache object and I am unable to get any sort of
sorting happening.
I have provided the method below (and some supporting methods). The
interesting bit
of code (to me) is:
'Assign ColumnOrder to ViewState
ViewState("SortOrder") = ColumnOrder
'Set up Cache Object and determine if it exists
searchCache = CType(Cache.Get("searchCache" &
ColumnOrder), ArrayList)
It looks like the ArrayList is stored in Cache and then when a new
search parameter is
requested, the cache is called and the new parameter is passed as an
argument?
Any help in explaining how to attack this would be very helpful. I am
not too familiar with
doing the sorting on bind and can't do this in the stored procedure.
Thanks!
