The task: You have a string that is comma delimited , and you would like to sort that string and display it in a listbox.
I am using ASP.NET to do this:
Default.aspx
<form id=”form1″ runat=”server”>
<asp:listbox id=”ListBox1″ runat=”server”></asp:listbox>
</form>
I just declare a listbox inside the form.
Default.aspx.cs
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// the comma delimited list
string names = "Lesseps,Daniel,Isaacs,Diaz";
// split the string and make it an array of strings
string[] listOfNames = names.Split(new char[] { ',' });
// sort the array of strings
Array.Sort(listOfNames);
foreach (string name in listOfNames)
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(name);
}
}
}
The result:
In C#, it is extremely easy to sort an array of strings, just use:
Array.Sort(listOfNames);
where listOfNames is an array of strings.
