I have an oject of the type IGrouping and would like to order the elements inside the group without changing the type of the object.
In other words, I have
var tmp = group.OrderBy(x => x);
with group
being of type IGrouping<int, someanonymousclass>
and I want tmp
to be of type IGrouping<int, someanonymousclass>
as well.
One workaround would be to change it to a Dictionary or a new anonymous class, but I want tmp to specificly be of type IGrouping<int, someanonymousclass>
.
In other words: I want to sort the elemnts of my IGrouping<int, someanonymousclass>
object. If I use OrderBy
it changes the type of group
to IOrderedEnumerable
and I cannot access group.Key
anymore. How can i sustain the type of group
?
Example:
var states = SimulationPanel.innerPanel.Children.OfType<StateBar>().Where(x => x.isSensorState())
.GroupBy(x => (SensorElement)x.BauplanElement,
x => new
{
Start = (decimal)(x.Margin.Left / SimulationPanel.Zoom),
Width = (decimal)(x.Width / SimulationPanel.Zoom),
State = x.State
});
var group = states.First();
var tmp = group.OrderBy(x => x.Start);
var key = tmp.Key; //This does not work, because tmp is not of type IGrouping
I know I could use OrderBy
before grouping. I don't want to do that, though.
