Retrieve SortedList from Class (App_Code)

[sck10]

Hello,

I have a method in my codefile that builds a sorted list (see CodeFile). I
am trying to create a class that does the same thing (see App_Code).

CodeFile
===================================
public void PostSearch(string HRID)
{
SortedList PostSearchList = new SortedList();

try
{

....

foreach(PropertyValueCollection props in item.Properties)
{
PostSearchList.Add(props.PropertyName.ToString(),
props[0].ToString());
}

//Set Values
this.hdnLDAPEmail.Value = PostSearchList["mail"].ToString().Trim();
this.hdnLDAPTelephone.Value =
PostSearchList["telephonenumber"].ToString().Trim();
} // end try

catch(Exception ex)
{
string strNoLDAP = "<br /><br />Please submit a <a
href='members.aspx'>New HRID</a>.<br />";
}
}



App_Code
===================================
public SortedList PostSearchHRID(string HRID)
{
SortedList PostSearchList = new SortedList();

try
{
foreach(PropertyValueCollection props in item.Properties)
{
PostSearchList.Add(props.PropertyName.ToString(),
props[0].ToString());
}

return PostSearchList;

} // end try

catch(Exception ex)
{
strNoLDAP += "<br /><br /><span class=BlkB>LDAP Error</span><br />" +
ex.Message.ToString();

PostSearchList.Add("Catch Exception", strNoLDAP);

return PostSearchList;
}
} // end class



My question is how do you return a sorted list that's in the class?

Code calling the class
======================
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string LDAPName = this.AppCodePostSearch("cn").ToString();
}

protected SortedList AppCodePostSearch()
{
PostSearch PostSearchHelper = new PostSearch();
return PostSearchHelper.PostSearchHRID(this.txtHRID.Text);
}


When I try to reference the class, I get the following:

?LDAPName = "System.Collections.SortedList"

The actual value should be ?LDAPName = "Last Name, First Name"


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, sck10

Hi sck10,

Do you have another implementation of AppCodePostSearch() which takes one
string parameter? I think your code calling the AppCodePostSearch() should
be:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string LDAPName = this.AppCodePostSearch()["cn"].ToString();
}

Thank you very much Walter,

That answered my second question of how to send a value to the method
"AppCodePostSearch(this.HRID.Text)":

string LDAPName = this.AppCodePostSearch(this.HRID.Text)["cn"].ToString();

Cheers...

Hi sck10,

Sorry, I overlooked the first question "how do you return a sorted list
that's in the class?". However, I'm not very clear about what do you mean
of the question. Could you please depict more? Thanks.

Hi Walter,

Both my question of 1. how to return a SortedList and how to provide a value
to the method were answered when you showed me the correct syntax.

I originally created the following to call a class in App_Code that I could
supply a parameter value:

Example 1
========================
protected SortedList AppCodePostSearch(string HRID)
{
PostSearch PostSearchHelper = new PostSearch();
return PostSearchHelper.PostSearchHRID(HRID);
}

I couldn't figure out how to send a value to the class so I hard coded the
method:

Example 2
========================
protected SortedList AppCodePostSearch()
{
PostSearch PostSearchHelper = new PostSearch();
return PostSearchHelper.PostSearchHRID(this.txtHRID.Text);
}


The reason I couldn't figure out how to send the parameter value (example 1)
instead of hard coding the value (example 2) was because my of my syntax:

What I originally had was wrong:
string LDAPName = this.AppCodePostSearch["cn"].ToString();

which should have been:
string LDAPName = this.AppCodePostSearch().["cn"].ToString();

which leads to:
string LDAPName = this.AppCodePostSearch(this.HRID.Text)["cn"].ToString();

As always, thanks for all your help...
