I am a novice at coding and whilst I have found examples on Stackoverflow that ought to address my situation, I struggle to understand the syntax and hence convert the example to my needs.
So I have a folder containing Outlook MSG files which I want process in 'Sent date' order. So what I'm trying to do is load them into a list and then sort them by date.
This may be a daft way to do it but I figured that if I create a 'class' containing filename and the date of each message, I could: add these to a list, sort it and then process the list.
So my class looks like this:
Class sMSG
Public sFilename As String
Public mDate As Date
End Class
My code to sort the list (modified from a stackoverflow example), looks like this:
Dim ordered = From obj In SortedList
OrderBy(obj.mdate Ascending)
SortedList = ordered.ToList()
It generates the error: BC32017: Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected.
I'm not familiar with this style of coding and can't work out where I am going wrong.
Any help would be appreciated but please be explain it in terms that a complete moron would understand as that just about sums me up at the moment!
