• Visual Studio Express Editions ListView sorting question

  Hi I have a ListView control called HSlist on a form which has 3 columns. The adding data seems to work OK, but the sorting is weird to say the least. Initially, I thought that the list would be sorted on the contents in the first column, so I added to the ListView with the Item containing the data that I wanted the list to be sorted on (numerical). Then I found that the list was being sorted on the second column (strings), so I swapped the adding routine so that the numerical data was now in the second column - the list now was being sorted on the first column (strings). What I want, is either to be able to dictate which column the ...Show All

• Visual Basic TypeOf with Generics

  Before generics I could use (TypeOf myObject Is MyClass) or (TypeOf myObject Is IMyInterface) to determine whether an object is a certain class or interface type.  But, now if myObject is a generic then that technique does not work because the generic could be a structure.  So, I'm searching for the best (i.e., fastest) way to perform the above tests when using generics.  Using (TypeOf CObj(myObject) Is MyClass) is the first thing that comes to mind, but is there a better way   For example, is it possible to specify that a generic is a reference type Thanks for any help.
