CompareTo() With Generic List of Classes
Dec 11 2007 10:59 AM
I have a class that is built like this:
private class
Site
{
private string
name;
private string
uniqueID;
internal string
Name
{
get
{
return this
.name; }
set
{
this
.name =
value
; }
}
internal string
UniqueID
{
get
{
return this
.uniqueID; }
set
{
this
.uniqueID =
value
; }
}
public int
CompareTo
(
object
site)
{
return
String
.Compare
(
this
.uniqueID, ((
Site
)site).uniqueID);
}
}
And in another class, I have a generic list of these Site classes.
public sealed class
SiteList
{
private
List
<
Site
> pendingSiteList =
new
List
<
Site
>;
public bool
IDExists(
string
uniqueID)
{
//This is where the problem lays
int
index = pendingSiteList.BinarySearch();
if(index >= 0)
return true
;
else
return false
;
}
public
List
<
Site
> PendingSiteList
{
get
{
return this
.pendingSiteList; }
}
}
I supposed the main problem is that I want to search the generic site lists to find out if a specified unique ID exists in any of the contained sites. But therin lay a problem in that the binary search method of a the generic list is expecting data of the type "Site" (strongly typed I suppose...), not string. I need to search this list by unique ID if thats possible. Im writing this code (and color coding it too ;) ) off the top of my head while at work so it may not be entirely accurate but I tried to make sure it was valid. Any help is much appreciated :)
