The documentation for Sort says that Sort will throw an ArgumentException if "The implementation of comparer caused an error during the sort. For example, comparer might not return 0 when comparing an item with itself."
Apart from the example given, can anyone tell me when this would otherwise happen?

SOLVED at the bottom of my post.
Or more specifically:
I have a bunch of FileInfo objects (I need the FileInfo objects to exclude hidden, system and reparse point files).
I need to sort FileInfo[] naturally based on their FileInfo.FullName. So FILE_10.ext should come after FILE_2.ext. Luckily the FileInfo[] contains files of only one ...
I'm trying to figure out which of these interfaces I need to implement. They both essentially do the same thing. When would I use one over the other?

First of all, I do know about the Fisher-Yates shuffle. But lets say for arguments sake that I want to allow the user to pick a sort option from a Dropdown list. This list would include a "Random" option. Based on the result of their selection I just want to substitute in an IComparer instance for my sort. What would the IComparer lo...
Hello
I have a the need for key value pair that I wish to sort so I decided to use a SortedList instead of a HashTable.
I am adding the data in the order below to my SortedList which is the order I need it in
Key | Value
--------------------------------
1 "700-800" | List(Of Object)
2 "900-1000" | List(Of...
I'm trying to sort a pair of int arrays (int[] a; int[] b;)
If I use Array.Sort(a,b) then the performance is great.
However, I'd prefer to use a List<> and load the int pairs in a struct.
I can get this to work using Array.Sort() with an overload that provides a simple comparer for the struct but it's about 4 times slower than the Arra...
I have a generic
List<MyClass>
where MyClass has a property "InvoiceNumber" which contains values like:

200906/2

200906/10
200906/11
200906/12
My list is bound to a
BindingList<T>
which supports sorting with linq:

Hi,
I have a List<MyObj> with the class MyObj : IComparable. I wrote the method CompareTo in the MyObj class per the IComparable interface, but when I use the List<MyObj>.Contains(myObjInstance) it returns false when it should be true.
I'm not sure I'm understanding how I need to proceed to make sure the List uses my custom comparison...

I have never written a stateful IComparer<T> with a default constructor. All standard library implementations which I've checked in Reflector are stateless as well. Therefore, I'd like to assume that I can freely cache IComparer<T> like this:
PriorityQueue<TPriority, TComparer> where TComparer : IComparer<TPriority>, new()
{

Is there some way to use IComparer with ArrayList.Sort() to sort a group of strings as ints?

I have the following IComparer defined for boxed RegistryItem objects:
public class BoxedRegistryItemComparer : IComparer<object>

RegistryItem rightReg = (RegistryItem)right;
return string.Compare(leftReg.Name, r...
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.
FileInfoComparer.vb:
Imports System.IO
Friend Class FileInfoDateCompar...
I was trying to debug a problem and ran into this issue. Maybe somebody can explain it to me. This is the code in question
public int Compare(CustomClass rt1, CustomClass rt2)
{
if (rt1 == null
if (rt1 == null)
return -1;
if (rt2 == null)
return 1;
if (rt1.yPos < rt2.yPos)

I am trying to call OrderBy() using a custom IComparer on a SubSonic IQueryable like so:
IQueryable<FooObject> sortedFoos =
FooObject.All()
.OrderBy(f => f, new FooObjectComparer());
However when I then try to enumerate over sortedFoos or create a PagedList<FooObject> using it, I get a System.Exception: 'The LINQ expression nod...
I have a list box that contains a list of WorkItems (from TFS). I want to add items to be selected, but it is failing to identify the items as the same.
Here is my code

I have a list box that I need to sort by the values not the text. I'm very new to this so please excuse my ignorance. I started looking at IComparer but I'm some what lost in how to use it. How can I overload my list box with this new sort?
Thank You

I have a list of an object which need to be sorted depending on three different properties of the object.
Example

ListObj = IEnumerable<Object1>

if (item.Property1 == true)
item goes at top of list
if(item.Property2 == true)

The CompareTo() method for my class is dynamic, and can range from a simple comparison to comparisons on a number of columns. This is all determined at run time, and it works great.
But in some cases, I want any attempt to sort a collection of my objects using the default comparison to just do nothing.
Having CompareTo() just return a ...
Alright, I've got two collections, and I need to place elements from collection1 into the bins (elements) of collection2, based on whether their value falls within a given bin's range.
For a concrete example, assume I have a sorted collection objects (bins) which have an int range ([1...4], [5..10], etc). I need to determine the range a...
