Using lambda expression in place of IComparer argument

Question

Is it possible with C# to pass a lambda expression as an IComparer argument in a method call?

eg something like

var x = someIEnumerable.OrderBy(aClas         


        

Answer 1

If you're on .NET 4.5, you can use the static method Comparer.Create.

Documentation: Comparer.Create Method .

Example:

var x = someIEnumerable.OrderBy(e => e.someProperty, 
    Comparer.Create((x, y) => x.someProperty > y.SomeProperty ?  1 : x.someProperty < y.SomeProperty ?  -1 : 0)
    );
