I have a resource file named filetypes.resx. Some how I figured out to bind the resource values to dropdownlist, but I don’t know how to sort the values of ResourceSet.

Here is what I did so far,

FileTypes.resx

  • Name,Value

  • A,1

  • B,2

  • C,3

code to bind dropdownlist


DropDownList1.DataSource = Resources.FileTypes.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, true, true);
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Key";
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "Value";
DropDownList1.DataBind();

Result

 A
 C
 B

As you can see the result is not sorted. Please help me to solve this issue.

Many thanks in advance 🙂

    The ressource set has a IDictionaryEnumerator so I guess that its items are of type DictionaryEntry, try to sort the data source like this :

    DropDownList1.DataSource = Resources.FileTypes.ResourceManager
    .GetResourceSet(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, true, true)
    .OfType<DictionaryEntry>()
    .OrderBy(i => i.Value);

    Hum, I have no visual studio opened so don’t blame me in case it does not work immediatly 🙂
