Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Data

Assembly:

PresentationFramework.dll

Gets a collection of SortDescription structures that describes how the items in the collection are sorted in the view.

public:
 virtual property System::ComponentModel::SortDescriptionCollection ^ SortDescriptions { System::ComponentModel::SortDescriptionCollection ^ get(); };

public virtual System.ComponentModel.SortDescriptionCollection SortDescriptions { get; }

member this.SortDescriptions : System.ComponentModel.SortDescriptionCollection

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property SortDescriptions As SortDescriptionCollection

Property Value

SortDescriptionCollection

An empty SortDescriptionCollection in all cases.

Implements

SortDescriptions

Remarks

You cannot add a SortDescription to the returned (empty) collection because the base class CollectionView does not support sorting. Instead, use the derived classes ListCollectionView and BindingListCollectionView that do support sorting. Also, check the CanSort property before adding or removing SortDescription objects to avoid an exception.
