I am reading Databinding with Windows Forms 2.0 by Brian Noyes and I came accross IBindingListView. The role of that interface is essentially to define advanced searching and sorting.

I see in the latest version of Csla 2.0 you implemented a searching and sorting class however you did not implement IDatabindingView. Considering IDatabindingView implements IDatabinding is there a reason why you choose not to implement this interface?

I think Rocky implemented a useful object but it does have limitations. The biggest one is multi-property sorting.

I just looked at the code for the ObjectListView (in CSLA Contrib) and it does implement the interface you mentioned.

I use it exclusively for filtering and sorting as it can handle multi-property sorting.
