	bool isDescending,
	int partitionCount
)

Parameters

An IComparer on TKey to compare keys
isDescending
Type: System Boolean
true if the generated keys must be descending; otherwise ascending
partitionCount
Type: System Int32

Type Parameters

TSource
The type of the records in the input dataset
TKey
The type of the key on which the partition is based
