OK,
Since you have no control over this class, and I doubt it implements
IComparable, you will need to find a property on the class you want to
sort by, that is a native type, such as String. Then you can do this:
Public Class AnObjectThatImplementsIComparer
Implements IComparer
Public Function Compare(ByVal x As Object, ByVal y As Object)
As Integer Implements System.Collections.IComparer.Compare
Dim adx As ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectory.ADGroup
Dim ady As ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectory.ADGroup
adx = CType(x, ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectory.ADGroup)
ady = CType(y, ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectory.ADGroup)
Return adx.SomeProperty.CompareTo(ady.SomeProperty)
End Function
End Class
which will sort your collection based on the value SomeProperty. Just
replace SomeProperty with the name of the property you want to sort on.
