使用IComparable正确地遇到了一些麻烦.接口.我还创建了一个实现IComparer<>的类.我几乎从书中复制了确切的编码示例,但对其进行了重新设计以适合我的情况,但它似乎无法正常运行.我不断收到错误消息,类型Lab4a.Employee中不存在类型名称EmployeeComparer.据我所知,该方法已经存在并且存在,所以我不确定是什么触发了此方法.感谢您的任何建议

    // Nested class which implements IComparer
    public class EmployeeComparer : IComparer<Employee>
    {
        public Employee.EmployeeComparer.ComparisonType WhichComparison { get; set; }

        // Enumeration of comparison types
        public enum ComparisonType
        {
            name,
            empID,
            rate,
            hours,
            gross
        };

        public int Compare(Employee lhs, Employee rhs)
        {
            return lhs.CompareTo(rhs, WhichComparison);
        }
    }
}

解决方法:

EmployeeComparer类型现在不嵌套在Employee类中.如果要嵌套,请在Employee类中移动其声明.
