Verify Sort Order in a Silverlight DataGrid

I would like to sort a column in a Silverlight DataGrid and verify the content is in the correct order.

Solution

This is possible with a coded solution. The example below is against a Silverlight toolkit sample.

After navigating there, click DataGrid in the left-hand menu. Then click the FirstName column header to sort that column. Finally, add a coded step:

C#

    //Get the data grid.
    SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];
    DataGrid grid = app.Find.ByAutomationId<DataGrid>("dataGrid");
    
    int r = grid.Rows.Count;
    List<string> list = new List<string>();
    
    //Place the TextBlock content of the FirstName cell from each row into the string list.
    for (int i = 0; i < r; i++)
    {
        DataGridRow row = grid.Rows[i];
        DataGridCell cell = row.Cells[2];   
        list.Add(cell.TextBlockContent);
        Log.WriteLine(cell.TextBlockContent);
    }
    
    //Assert each string in the list is greater than the string before it.
    for (int j = 0; j < list.Count; j++)
    {
        if (j+1 == list.Count)
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            Assert.IsTrue(list[j+1].CompareTo(list[j]) >= 0);
        }
    }

VB

    Dim app As SilverlightApp = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()(0)
    Dim grid As DataGrid = app.Find.ByAutomationId(Of DataGrid)("dataGrid")
    
    Dim r As Integer = grid.Rows.Count
    Dim list As New List(Of String)()
    

    For i As Integer = 0 To r - 1
        Dim row As DataGridRow = grid.Rows(i)
        Dim cell As DataGridCell = row.Cells(2)
        list.Add(cell.TextBlockContent)
        Log.WriteLine(cell.TextBlockContent)
    Next
    

    For j As Integer = 0 To list.Count - 1
        If j + 1 = list.Count Then
            Exit For
        Else
            Assert.IsTrue(list(j + 1).CompareTo(list(j)) >= 0)
        End If
    Next
