string[] property order

[Sean]

I have a property of type string[].  If you open the String Collection Editor the items are in the correct order, but when you expand the collection in the PropertyGrid the items appear to be in a random order (instead of being displayed as 0..n).

I am using RadControls for WinForms Q2 2012 SP1.

Hello Sean,

Thank you for writing.

We are aware of this behavior and have it in our Public Issue Tracking System - PITS. You can track its progress, subscribe for status change alerts and add your vote/comment to it on the following link - PITS Feature. Until the issue is resolved you can work around it by creating a custom IComparer<> class and using it in RadPropertyGrid:

this.radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.PropertyTableElement.CollectionView.Comparer = new MyComparer();

public class MyComparer : IComparer<PropertyGridItem>
{
    public MyComparer()
    {  }

    public int Compare(PropertyGridItem x, PropertyGridItem y)
    {
        return x.Label.CompareTo(y.Label);
    }
}

I hope this will be useful .Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
 
Kind regards,
