Comparer Property (SortInfo)

Gets or sets the IComparer object for the method of comparison.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property Comparer As IComparer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SortInfo
Dim value As IComparer
 
instance.Comparer = value
 
value = instance.Comparer

public virtual IComparer Comparer {get; set;}

Property Value

IComparer object to customize the sort order of a collection

Remarks

This property gets or sets the IComparer object to determine the method of comparison. If the value is null, the System.Collections.Comparer.Default is used.

Example

FarPoint.Win.Spread.SortInfo[] sort = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SortInfo[1];
sort[0] = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SortInfo(0, true, System.Collections.Comparer.Default);
bool b;
int i;
System.Collections.Comparer;
sort[0] = New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SortInfo(0, True, System.Collections.Comparer.Default)
b = sort[0].Ascending
c = sort[0].Comparer
i = sort[0].Index
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 0, "S");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 1, "E");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 2, "A");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 3, "K");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 0, "W");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 1, "G");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 2, "P");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 3, "V");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 0, "O");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 1, "L");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 2, "Q");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 3, "H");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SortColumns(0, 2, sort);
label1.Text = "Is the sort ascending is " + b.ToString() + " and the type of comparer is " + Convert.ToString(c) + " and the
index is " + i.ToString();

Visual Basic

Dim sort(1) As FarPoint.Win.Spread.SortInfo
Dim b As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Dim c As System.Collections.Comparer
sort(0) = New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SortInfo(0, True, System.Collections.Comparer.Default)
b = sort(0).Ascending
c = sort(0).Comparer
i = sort(0).Index
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 0, "S")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 1, "E")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 2, "A")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 3, "K")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 0, "W")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 1, "G")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 2, "P")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 3, "V")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 0, "O")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 1, "L")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 2, "Q")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(2, 3, "H")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SortColumns(0, 2, sort)
Label1.Text = "Is the sort ascending is " & b.ToString() & " and the type of comparer is " & Convert.ToString(c) & " and the
index is " & i.ToString()
