Paradigm Patterns

Have you ever wanted to sort an ICollection? It took me awhile to figure this one out so I thought I should blog it. I originally posted this quite awhile ago. Since then I have discovered a much easier way to sort a collection. Here's an update on sorting collections using LINQ. Much simpler: var orderedList = customer.Users .OrderBy(x => x.UserType) .ToList(); And here is my original post on the subject. You decide which one looks easier. private IList<EventReqFormSection> GetSections() { ICollection<EventReqFormSection> sections = EventReqFormSection.GetByEventReqFormId(_businessObject.Id, ObjectManager); // sort by Display Sequence List<EventReqFormSection> sortedValues = new List<EventReqFormSection>(sections); sortedValues.Sort(new EventReqFormSection.DisplaySequenceSort()); return sortedValues; } The above function retrieves an ICollection puts it into a List object and calls the sort method usin...

This just seemed like a good idea. I will use this as a scratch pad for things that I discover throughout my daily struggles in code wrangling.
