I have a class with a bunch of properties/fields (I know public fields are bad practice, but they exist within our legacy-code for simple DTOs):
class Foo {
public string Name;
public int Age;
}
and a collection of instances of Foo
.
Now I want to order those elements by a property given by the user. So the user selects a property from the type Foo
. Now I want to order by elements based on this property.
One approach is a reflection-based one similar to this:
var p = typeof(Foo).GetProperty("Age");
var ordered = fooList.OrderBy(x => (int) p.GetValue(x, null));
This works so far. However I also tried a second one and there I am stuck. It deals by performing an expression-tree as follows:
var f = GetOrderStatement<Foo>("Age");
var ordered = fooList.OrderBy(f)
With
Func<T, int> GetOrderStatement<T>(string attrName)
{
var type = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), attrName);
var property = Expression.PropertyOrField(type, attrName);
return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, int>>(property).Compile();
}
My question is: As I should return a Func<T, int>
where to get the int
-part from or in other words where and how do I perform the actual comparison? I suppose I have to make a CallExpression
to IComparable.CompareTo
but I´m not sure how to do so.
