Asp.net - Reverse-sorting A Listview (with Comparer Class)
Oct 7, 2009
I have a two-column ListView linked to a Datapager. The ListView lists all files of a particular type in a particular directory, so the data source is an ArrayList of type FileInfo. Consequently, I had to create a Comparer class to use in the ArrayList.Sort method.
I have a list of keys and values that I would like sorted by key via a custom Comparer(Of T). I tried using a SortedDictionary, but kept getting incorrect results because it used the comparer to see if the items were the same. For example calling SortedDictionary.ContainsKey() would return false, even though it did contain the key.
When I stepped through the code after calling ContainsKey(), it would go to the comparer.Compare(x, y) function. It would then only compare against a few of the keys in the dicionary, and somehow skip the matching item (which I ensured did exist). I take it that this is some sort of optimization, where some items are skipped depending on what is returned by the comparer.Compare() function? Is it possible to have a dictionary that only uses the comparer for sorting? EDIT: I am using a Type object for the dictionary's key
I have a ListView (GridView) that I want to sort by 2 columns, so if 2+ items have the same value in Column 1, it sorts by Column 2. Pretty easy. But empty strings show up at the top when sorting A-Z. I'd like to move them to the bottom. I made a comparer (IComparer) that takes care of this, but I'm not sure how to use it.[code]...
I have the array dimensioned as public to the form. I populate the array on Form1_Load.When I click the button btnReversingAnArray the first time all are sorted in reverse except for Wendy and it is the last item shown. ie..(The book I am even shows an image of the list Box and their example also shows Wendy as the last item)

Then I do nothing else except I click the button btnReversingAnArray again and then it displays correctly.
I need to reverse a string of words without using the reverse function. This is what I have so far, BUT it only shows the last two letters. For example: if i type "John" it will only give me "ho"
Public Class frmReverse Dim original As String Dim New1 As String

I need to this without using things we haven't seen in class.
I use a listview control which is created at runtime because I don't need it visible to the user. I basically use it to store some information about paths, sort it and then pick out the data I need. It works very well apart from it doesn't seem to sort. For efficiency, I turn off sorting on the listview while the data is being added then enable sorting on the listview at the end. However, the sorting doesn't work. Is this because the listview isn't visible or am I just being daft?
I tried getting CodeOrder snippet working but it really messup all my tables and such when I try to add for other groups sorting first 3 works fine but when I try to add more everything gets strange. Here are my snippets: Form1.vb [URL] Form1.Designer.vb [URL]
First off i just want to take a bow to all the vb gods out there..I am trying to implement the sorting class form article 319399 in the knowledge base [URl]..on step number 6 it says to "Paste the following code into the ColumnClick event for the ListView:"so i created a sub to handle the ColumnClick event
I am trying to sort my ListView in both ascending and descending order when I click on column headers in Details View. When I click on it, it is able to sort one way, but subsequent clicks don't cause any more sorting to occur. I am attempting to follow the examples shown on the msdn site:[URL].. Here is what I have so far:
I have a routine whereby kids do some tests and are awarded scores. These scores are put in a ListView with their names. The snag arises when sorting! It's ok in single figures but at 10 and over it is no go! It is only in the first column that the scores are put. I believe the method is in collections and compares - am I right? So how can this be simply done? In all the bits of code I've managed to get hold of I get lots of words underlined in blue and have no idea what the explanations mean. Some such things are, "IComparer".
I'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 and I need to upload and sort two data text files (notepad) in a listview box. It doesn't have to be a listview box I chose that because it has nice options for columns. Anyway I've got the code set up to open the dialog box and allow the upload of multiple files. I've also got it set up to show separate columns, movie titles and box office amounts, titles in one file box office amount in the other. What I nee sorting the data once it's uploaded so the movie titles show in one column and the box office amounts show in another. Currently everything is showing in the left most column. I'd like to be able to represent the data seperately also so I can format the dollar amounts into currency. Here's what I've got so far:
Private Sub LoadButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LoadButton.Click Dim DialogBoxResults As System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
I have a listview with items. I have a sorting class to do it. However when something is changeing my Listview control.
There are 3 colums. All items for each column exists in an struct with 3 items, one for each column. I have checked that I have all data in the array. But when I loop trough array of items and add then to the Listview, then many items in column 2 and 3 is not showing up.... This happens only after I have used the sorting class.[code...]
I have a list (i.e. Dim nList as new List(of className)). Each class has a property named zIndex (i.e. className.zIndex). Is it possible to sort the elements of the list by the zIndex variable in all of the elements of the list?
I have a ListView w/filename, data, time and size fields. I've copied the code from this article [URL] to use in my solution. Problem is, when I click a column header the first time, it sorts, but when I click the same header a second time, to sort in reverse, the column stays in the same order as it was just sorted in.
I'm using the following code to sort a List(of Class) using LINQ. It works fine, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it. I'm basically taking one list, applying LINQ to it, then using the result to create a second list in the sorted order. Can I do this without creating a second list? Here is my sample
' KeyMatch is my Class Variable ' mMatchList is the Unsorted List '
Class MainWindow Public TableDetails As New List(Of TableDetailsContainer(Of TableXDetails)) Public Sub ArrangeByID() '''STUCK HERE''''
[code].....
What I basically want to achieve is to sort TableDetails(i) items by their "ID", but I have absolutely no idea how to go about it. Could anyone please give me pointers?Also, I actually want to move the columns within TableDetails(i) around, manually. But I'm not too sure how to do that.

I'm trying to figure out a way to sort the entries of a listbox... but in a different way instead of the obvious one (sorted property). First of all, I need to explain how the items are populated at first:
I'm having my program sort an excel sheet by a few columns. However, it is only sorting by the first column not the rest that I specify.ere is my sort code below:
I have a WPF ObservableCollection which is bound to a ListBox and I have a Sort() method which when called will convert the ObservableCollection to a List(Of T), and undertakes a sort based on a date/time column within the collection.
The data is sorted, even when new items are added to the ObservableCollection, however the date/time isn't being correctly sorted. The data is sorting based on the date however it is very much random when it comes to the time portion. The following is an example of the outcomes I am experiencing:
[Code]...
Is there anything that I am doing incorrectly in this method that would cause the time portion not be included in the sort? Is there a better way of doing a sort?
I have created a user control in wpf which consists of a textbox and a listview. Now, I want to bind a class object to the list view from the form where I will use this control. So, basically I want to dynamically set the binding for the listview.
I've been studying the example of what I think is an overridden ListView class posted at MSDN: [URL] Am I correct in assuming that this is, in fact, an overridden ListView class that I can use in place of ListView as an OwnerDrawn version of ListView, and which I can modify to my liking as I make sense of how to do so?
I inherit from ListView. I want my control to have an AllowCheckBoxes property rather than a CheckBoxes property. Listview.Checkboxes is not overridable. Can I add attributes to Listview.Checkboxes? Maybe the following? <Browsable(False), DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)>
If not, does the following make sense? <Browsable(False), DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> Public Property Shadows CheckBoxes() As Boolean Get [Code] .....
