Is there a size/complexity limit to DataView.Sort?

I may need to write a very complex equation for the DataView.Sort property (.NET Framework 4). Is there any known limit on string length or function nesting complexity? My string may be ~500 chars in length with multiple depth levels.

Solution

  • Well, I dug up the .NET source code, and Sort literally only allows column names, brackets ([]) and ASC/DESC. So I guess the answer is Yes, there are quite strict limits on what is allowed.
