I'm new to EF (version 6.0.1) and fairly new to WPF. Using this tutorial, I've created a master/detail scenario. The following code was generated to bind the datagrid to the EF.
Dim TblPatientDemographicViewSource As System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource = CType(Me.FindResource("TblPatientDemographicViewSource"), System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource) 'Load data by setting the CollectionViewSource.Source property: 'TblPatientDemographicViewSource.Source = [generic data source] _context.tblPatientDemographics.Load() TblPatientDemographicViewSource.Source = _context.tblPatientDemographics.Local
The data displays sorted by the primary key. I would like to sort it by Patient Name.
I've been reading about SortDescriptions, which sounds like what I want, but I can't get further than this:
TblPatientDemographicViewSource.SortDescriptions.Add(New ...
According to MSDN, I should be able to add a new sortdescription, but that's not an option that's given. I should be able to enter "TblPatientDemographicViewSource.SortDescriptions.Add(NewSortDescription("PatientName", ListSortDirection.Ascending))" But the 2nd SortDescription is not available to me.
Thanks.
