Sort an array of structures in .NET

Question

This is one of those times when only the hive mind can help - no amount of Google-fu can!

I have an array of structures:

Structure stCar 
    Dim Nam         


        

Answer 1

Another possibility, that doesn't use Linq but instead uses the .Net Array class' Sort method:

Module Module1
    Structure stCar
        Dim Name As String
        Dim MPH As String

        Sub New(ByVal _Name As String, ByVal _MPH As Integer)
            Name = _Name
            MPH = _MPH
        End Sub
    End Structure

    Class CarCompareMph : Implements IComparer

        Public Function Compare(ByVal x As Object, ByVal y As Object) As Integer Implements System.Collections.IComparer.Compare
            Dim xCar As stCar = DirectCast(x, stCar)
            Dim yCar As stCar = DirectCast(y, stCar)
            Return New CaseInsensitiveComparer().Compare(xCar.MPH, yCar.MPH)
        End Function
    End Class

    Sub Main()
        Dim cars() As stCar = {New stCar("honda", 50), New stCar("ford", 10)}
        Array.Sort(cars, New CarCompareMph)

        For Each c As stCar In cars
            Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} MPH", c.Name, c.MPH)
        Next
    End Sub

End Module

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it's another approach.
