Grouping By FacetedObject

[Jesse]

I am trying to use grouping on an ObservableCollection of FacetedObject. FacetedObject is a custom class built on the fly, and this is the error I get. 

No generic method 'OrderBy' on type 'System.Linq.Queryable' is compatible with supplied type.

For Reference this is the definition of FacetedObject. 
   public class FacetedObject : ICustomTypeProvider, INotifyPropertyChanged, INotifyDataErrorInfo
    {
        public FacetedObject()
        {
            Id = Guid.NewGuid();
            _facetValues = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            _errorManager = new ValidationErrorManager(this, s => OnErrorsChanged(s));
            _currentFacets = new List<Facet>();
            _currentFacets.Add(Facet.DynamicDemo0);
            _currentFacets.Add(Facet.DynamicDemo1);
        }

        List<Facet> _currentFacets;

        private Guid _Id;

        /// <summary>
        /// A property we can use to show that normal & dynamic properties can be mixed
        /// </summary>
        public Guid Id
        {
            get { return _Id; }
            set
            {
                _Id = value;
                OnPropertyChanged("Id");
            }
        }
        

        ValidationErrorManager _errorManager;

        Dictionary<string, object> _facetValues;

        public object this[string key]
        {
            get
            {
                if (!_facetValues.ContainsKey(key))
                {
                    return null;
                }
                return _facetValues[key];
            }
            set
            {
                _facetValues[key] = value;
                OnPropertyChanged(key);
            }
        }

Hello,

 This is already fixed in our latest official release - Q3 2012 SP1.

Hey,

I was having the same issue. However, when I upgraded to the newest version, the custom columns (faceted types / faceted value pairs) stopped displaying data.

Based on the code above, it looks like Jesse and I were both referencing Damon Payne's article on faceted objects:

http://www.damonpayne.com/post/2011/04/14/Using-ICustomTypeProvider-in-Silverlight-5.aspx.

Essentially, I am binding RadGridView to a collection of ICustomTypeProvider objects by setting the ItemsSource in the code behind.

Attached is a screenshot of the result when I run the project.

Thanks for your help, please let me know what other information I need to provide.

Hello guys,

The issue is fixed in our latest internal build (you can get the build from your accounts). We are about to release also (next week) our official Q1 2013. If you want you can wait for the official release. 

I've attached also modified version of the application from the blog post for reference. I would like to point also that if you want to have null values (like the properties in this blog post) you should use nullable types. The correct implementation of Facet class should be:

    public class Facet
    {
        public Facet()
        {
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Must be a valid CLR property name
        /// </summary>
        public string PropertyName { get; set; }

        public Type PropertyType { get; set; }

        public static Facet DynamicDemo0 = new Facet
        {
            PropertyName = "DynamicPropZero",
            PropertyType = typeof(string)
        };

        public static Facet DynamicDemo1 = new Facet
        {
            PropertyName = "DynamicPropOne",
            PropertyType = typeof(double?)
        };
    }
