Remarks

Views support the functionality of grouping, which allows the user to partition the collection in the collection view into logical groups. The groups can be explicit, where the user supplies a list of groups, or implicit, where the groups are generated dynamically depending on the data.

PropertyGroupDescription allows you to create implicit groups based on a PropertyName. If you simply want to group by a property you can set the PropertyName property. If you want to change the value that is eventually used for group you can use the Converter property to supply a value converter. For example, you may want to group items based on the first letter of a name. If the PropertyName property is not set, the item itself is passed to the value converter. The converter may return a collection, which indicates the items can appear in more than one group.

You can also define how string comparison should take place using the StringComparison property.

Constructors

PropertyGroupDescription()

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyGroupDescription class.

PropertyGroupDescription(String, IValueConverter, StringComparison)

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyGroupDescription class with the specified parameters.

PropertyGroupDescription(String, IValueConverter)

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyGroupDescription class with the specified property name and converter.

PropertyGroupDescription(String)

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyGroupDescription class with the specified property name.

Properties

CompareNameAscending

Gets an IComparer value that orders groups in ascending order of name.

CompareNameDescending

Gets an IComparer value that orders groups in descending order of name.

Converter

Gets or sets a converter to apply to the property value or the item to produce the final value that is used to determine which group(s) an item belongs to.

CustomSort

Gets or sets a custom comparer that sorts groups using an object that implements IComparer.

(Inherited from GroupDescription)
GroupNames

Gets the collection of names that are used to initialize a group with a set of subgroups with the given names.

(Inherited from GroupDescription)
PropertyName

Gets or sets the name of the property that is used to determine which group(s) an item belongs to.

SortDescriptions

Gets the collection of sort criteria in which to sort the groups.

(Inherited from GroupDescription)
StringComparison

Gets or sets a StringComparison value that specifies the comparison between the value of an item (as determined by PropertyName and Converter) and the name of a group.
