Question

I have to make a list containing objects. And the objects need to be in random order.
Here I give them random numbers:

Random tal = new Random();
list1[i].nummer = tal.Next(list1.Count);
listGold.Add(list1[i]);

And now i just need to order them by number.
Which I thought linq could do for me. But it can’t :S

I am trying this:

RepeaterSponsorGold.DataSource = listGold.OrderBy(n => n.nummer);
RepeaterSponsorGold.DataBind();

to order my list by nummer and to put the list into my repater. But the lsit doesn’t seem to be sorted… or doesn’t seem to get random numbers. i don’t know which.
Can anybody see what i am doing wrong??

Answer 1

Try

RepeaterSponsorGold.DataSource = listGold.OrderBy(n => n.nummer).ToList();
