Dynamic comparison functions under .NET 5.0

[ATECoder]

It looks like the dynamic code generation for comparison generates an invalid IL code. I tried this for the Foo example for sorting on the Abscissa. The function private static Comparison<T> BuildValueTypeComparison( PropertyInfo pi, ListSortDirection direction ) returns in invalid IL code.

Hi @AteCoder Sorry, I don't maintain this code anymore and I haven't used it in years. Feel free to make a fork and fix it up - I'll be glad to put a link in this repo's README to point to yours.

Hi @waynebloss thank you for your reply.

Could you give me a hint on how I can see the IL that is created by the BuildValueTypeComparison function? I can than compare the 4.72 and 5.0 code and report this to MS.

@AteCoder Here's the code that generates the intermediate language - https://github.com/waynebloss/BindingListView/blob/ae7143356c7d3a49e4b3434bf09ffbc8d401fb44/src/BindingListView/AggregateBindingListView.cs#L1478

Here's some info on how to debug it:

Super! I'll give it a shot.

Hi @wayneblooss. Why did you stop keeping it? Or do you use another tool?

@danielvega I don't do a lot of WinForms anymore. Mostly I am doing web and mobile frontends, if any...
