kinda new to object methods and properties

[Guest]

hey all,

With regards to the Outlook Object Model

_oItems = oInbox.Items
_oItems.Sort("[ReceivedTime]", False)

I was wondering about the Sort parms. It takes:
Sort(Property As String, Descending As Object)

My question is why wasn't Descending defined as a Boolean?

thanks,
rodchar

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the reason is that
depending on what your sorting, descend might be true or false or could
be something else.

Here's a link to the sort method docs, perhaps that will help clear it
up.

But how is True or False considered an object?

 

[Chris, Master of All Things Insignificant]

True or False is a boolean Data Type.

All Data Types in .Net inherit from object.
