CodeGenerationUtilities.SortDomainClassesByInheritance<T> Method

Sort a collection of DomainClasses based on relative inheritance relationships. The most derived one will appear first in the sort result. This is used in following situation: Say there're 4 DomainClasses A, B, C and D. You need to generate some code like following: ... A a = obj as A; if (a != null) ... B b = obj as B; if (b != null) ... C c = obj as C; if (c != null) ... D d = obj as D; if (d != null) ... ... If C derives from A, the above code is wrong; the correct code should check for C first before checking for A. That's why this method should be called to sorted the DomainClasses in inheritance order, and the generated code will look like: ... C c = obj as C; if (c != null) ... A a = obj as A; if (a != null) ... B b = obj as B; if (b != null) ... D d = obj as D; if (d != null) ... ...
