Cannot sort DataGridView bound to array

[StanB]

Should DataGridView sort work if the datasource is an array?

It works fine out of the box if bound to DataSet...

You could wrap your array in a BindingList<T> that supports sorting...
eg: http://www.timvw.be/presenting-the-sortablebindinglistt/

It is so nice that you published the reusable class!

I do get an error, though.

It fails somewhere within your delegate, don't know where, because debugger
doesn't step
into the class.

I only added a constructor to the class:

public SortableBindingList(IList<T> list)
: base(list)
{
}

so I can initialize it from my array.

That shouldn't cause the error, should it?

I had to change

List<T> itemsList = this.Items as List<T>;

to

List<T> itemsList = new List<T>(Items);

in order to fix that. Otherwise itesmList was null

public SortableBindingList(IEnumerable<T> enumerable)
{
if (enumerable == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("enumerable");
}

foreach (T t in enumerable)
{
this.Add(t);
}
}
