Re: [Microsofts_C_Sharp] C# List View Sorting Issue

[Babu Aboobacker]

Hi Chris ,   Thanks for your reply.   At very first, i too worried that this malfunctioning is due to some reference keeping issue and so I tried to clera whole the reference forcefully ( GC.Collect() and WaitForPendingFinalizers) . But no luck !   The source code in my first mail was just a sample code.   I can't hard code the items in real case.   One thing i can do here is to take out the sorting functionality outside the listview and then create  the list view with the sorted items. But if we have multiple columns and like to give sorting functionality based on each column ( in a windows explorer like application) it is not feasible solution. True ?   Regards, Aboobacker   ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Cottrell To: Microsofts_C_Sharp@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 9:15 PM Subject: Re: [Microsofts_C_Sharp] C# List View Sorting Issue Must be because it still keeps a reference to where it was.  And your problem is?  Are you just trying to set a default.  You're hard coding the names in.  Just hard code them in alphabetical order or sort the names first, then add to your ListView control.
