VB.NET Sort DateTime Array using LINQ

VB.NET Sort DateTime Array using LINQ

 

Suppose String array  as Dates in this format. DD-MMM-YYYY format.

Dim dtArra() As String =  New String() {"12-jan-2001","12-feb-1973","7-Mar-1876","6-Dec-1967"}

If u want to sort using LINQ.

 This is ascending order of dates.

            var queryAsc = from d in dtArra
                        orderby
                        DateTime.ParseExact(d,
                        "%d-MMM-yyyy",
                        New System.Globalization.CultureInfo(1033))
                        Dim d As select

            Dim str As String
            For Each str In queryAsc
                Console.WriteLine(str)
            Next

Dates Ascending Order

7-Mar-1876
6-Dec-1967
12-feb-1973
12-jan-2001

 This is descending order of dates.

 

 

   var queryDesc = from d in dtArra
                        orderby
                        DateTime.ParseExact(d,
                        "%d-MMM-yyyy",
                        Shadows Property descending() As System.Globalization.CultureInfo(1033))
                        End Property
                        Dim d As select

            Dim str As String
            For Each str In queryDesc
                Console.WriteLine(str)
            Next

Dates descending Order

12-jan-2001
12-feb-1973
6-Dec-1967
7-Mar-1876
