anonymous functions in vb (not working in older .net)

Question

How do you rewrite the following to work in older vb.net environments? This is not working with build machine?

Just create a function that takes in two AuctionInfos returns an integer? Then do the addressof thang?

 tempItems.Sort(
            Function(aInfo1 As AuctionInfo, aInfo2 As AuctionInfo)
                Return aInfo1.StartTime.CompareTo(aInfo2.StartTime)
            End Function)

How is it not working? Do you get a compile-time error or a runtime exception? Does your `tempItems` list contain any `null` (`Nothing`) values? — Dai, Sep 20 '13 at 00:54

This seems to work...

    tempItems.Sort(AddressOf AuctionSorter)


Public Shared Function AuctionSorter(aInfo1 As AuctionInfo, aInfo2 As AuctionInfo) As Integer
    Return aInfo1.StartTime.CompareTo(aInfo2.StartTime)
End Function
