I can't figure out how to do this, these two questions aren't working for me. One says I can't use the delegate and the comparer, and the other says that it can't convert the lambda to a delegate. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2116754/sort-generic-list">Sort Generic List</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/177373/how-do-i-sort-a-generic-list">How do I sort a generic list?</a> I have a <code>GenericList<T></code> of <code>ScheduleItem</code>. Each item has a <code>PaymentDate</code> property which is a <code>DateTime?</code>. I basically want to sort this list on that property (old->newest). What's the easiest way to do this? First I tried this: <pre><code>transaction.ScheduleCollection.Sort(delegate(ScheduleItem p1, ScheduleItem p2) { return p1.PaymentDate.CompareTo(p2.PaymentDate); }); </code></pre> And I get these two errors: <blockquote> Cannot convert anonymous method to type 'System.Collections.IComparer' because it is not a delegate type 'System.Nullable' does not contain a definition for 'CompareTo' and no extension method 'CompareTo' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Nullable' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) </blockquote> And the other one I tried was this: <pre><code>transaction.ScheduleCollection.Sort((lhs, rhs) => (lhs.PaymentDate.CompareTo(rhs.PaymentDate))); </code></pre> and get <blockquote> Cannot convert anonymous method to type 'System.Collections.IComparer' because it is not a delegate type </blockquote> <pre><code>public void Sort(IComparer comparer); </code></pre> That's the sort method I have to work with.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
