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:
//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);
}
}
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
