Any suggestions?

Upul and Wim said it all:
Use delegates:
new List<DateTime>().Sort(delegate(DateTime d1, DateTime d2) {
return d1.CompareTo(d2);
});
Or if you have a class or something that holds that datetime:
new List<Nhonho>().Sort(delegate(Nhonho n1, Nhonho n2) {
return n1.date.CompareTo(n2.date);
});
To make it lessening,
new List<Nhonho>().Sort(delegate(Nhonho n1, Nhonho n2) {
return n2.date.CompareTo(n1.date);
});
Good luck.
Use List<T>.Sort()
, and just make sure you have an appropriate comparer.
Hey guys! For this scenario I would suggest something quite similar but in my opinion a better way to solve this problem.
I would implement new classes that their only pourpouse is to have a particular sorting "strategy". For example; I would create "ProductNameComparer" and "ProductPriceComparer", these classes should implement IComparer interface, then I would only call the method sort passing these strategies as parameters. You may check the code I have just made to ilustrate my ponit;
public class ProductPriceComparer : IComparer<Product>
{
public int Compare(Product x, Product y)
{
if (x.Price > y.Price)
return 1;
if (x.Price < y.Price)
return -1;
return 0;
}
}
public class ProductNameComparer : IComparer<Product>
{
public int Compare(Product x, Product y)
{
return x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name);
}
}
public class Product
{
public Product(String name, Decimal price)
{
this.name = name;
this.price = price;
}
private String name;
public String Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}
private Decimal price;
public Decimal Price
{
get { return price; }
set { price = value; }
}
public override string ToString()
{
return Name + " ($"+ Price.ToString() + ")";
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<Product> products = new List<Product>();
products.Add(new Product("Product Z", 45.98m));
products.Add(new Product("Product D", 12.80m));
products.Add(new Product("Product A", 25.19m));
products.Add(new Product("Product B", 65.00m));
products.Add(new Product("Product P", 5.14m));
Console.WriteLine("PRODUCTS SORTED BY PRICE");
products.Sort(new ProductPriceComparer());
foreach (Product p in products)
Console.WriteLine(p.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("\n--------------------------------\n");
Console.WriteLine("PRODUCTS SORTED BY NAME");
products.Sort(new ProductNameComparer());
foreach (Product p in products)
Console.WriteLine(p.ToString());
}
What we are supossed to get is;
PRODUCTS SORTED BY PRICE Product P ($5,14) Product D ($12,80) Product A ($25,19) Product Z ($45,98) Product B ($65,00)
PRODUCTS SORTED BY NAME Product A ($25,19) Product B ($65,00) Product D ($12,80) Product P ($5,14) Product Z ($45,98)
I think its gonna help!!! See yaa!
