The trick is to create a comparer that only works on inferred types. For instance:
public class Comparer<T> : IComparer<T> {
private Func<T,T,int> _func;
public Comparer(Func<T,T,int> func) {
_func = func;
}
public int Compare(T x, T y ) {
return _func(x,y);
}
}
public static class Comparer {
public static Comparer<T> Create<T>(Func<T,T,int> func){
return new Comparer<T>(func);
}
public static Comparer<T> CreateComparerForElements<T>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerable, Func<T,T,int> func) {
return new Comparer<T>(func);
}
}
Now I can do the following … hacky solution:
var comp = n.CreateComparerForElements((x, y) => x.Vchr == y.Vchr);
