How to return a PostingCollection
|
|
|
| hi,
i am trying to sort a postingCollection on the basis of a custom property
(which is of date type, which user will fillin and once he saves the page,
the date is saved as custom property)
Now I need to sort the posting collection and return return a Posting
collection which will contain the sorted postings based on the custom date
which i mentioned above. I am sorting it using bubble sort after storing the
collections to a hashtable.
Here is a portion of code with comments..
//here ht is a hashtable which contains the sorted items
// PostingDate() is a class which contains GUID, customDate.
PostingCollection pChannel;
Channel cChannel = CmsHttpContext.Current.Channel;
for(i=0;i<ht.Count;i++)
{
foreach(Posting p in cChannel.Postings)
{
PostingDate clsDate = new PostingDate();
clsDate = (PostingDate)ht[i];
if(p.Guid.ToString() == clsDate.getGUID.ToString())
{
cChannel = ?
//did'nt get any property like cChannel.Add(p)
// I want to add the posting's "Posting p in
cChannel.Postings"
// I want to add Posting "p" and return the collection
}
}
}
I tried to create a PostingCollection and then add postings to it which i
can later pass it as return parameter to the calling function. But no such
method. I am lost now as how to achieve that.
Thanks in advance

| Hi MH,
it is not possible to create a posting collection.
Either use a generic collection for this or use an array of postings.
Cheers,
Stefan
