Vista - Grouping and sorting with CollectionViewSource inside the Nov CTP?

Hi

I'm trying to get grouping and sorting working with the Nov CTP and I
can't find any up-to-date documentation on that class. Can someone point
me to a working sample?

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Philippe,

If you have the Nov CTP SDK documentation, you should be able to see an
example on the CollectionViewSource class page (with a link to a
CollectionViewSource sample), or is that not what you're looking for?
Here's a snippet from that example:
<Window.Resources>

<src:Places x:Key="places"/>

<CollectionViewSource Source="{StaticResource places}" x:Key="cvs">
<CollectionViewSource.SortDescriptions>
<scm:SortDescription PropertyName="CityName"/>
</CollectionViewSource.SortDescriptions>
<CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
<dat:PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="State"/>
</CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</CollectionViewSource>

</Window.Resources>
<DockPanel>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs}}"
DisplayMemberPath="CityName" Name="lb">
<ListBox.GroupStyle>
<x:Static Member="GroupStyle.Default"/>
</ListBox.GroupStyle>
</ListBox>
</DockPanel>Thanks,
Tina

Thanks Tina

I was so sure that the samples were not working that I didn't even
bother looking there Instead I looked on the web and none of the
information works with the Nov CTP (even MSDN which is kind of strange).

I will look there next time

Ah, I see. Just FYI, MSDN has a different refresh schedule. The content
there is only refreshed when there is a major milestone (such as a beta, but
not a CTP). Therefore the Nov CTP SDK docs are more up-to-date than the
online docs.

Also, the samples that don't compile in the Nov version of the SDK are
documented here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...K%20Readme.htm

Hope that helps,
Tina
