I am very confused

I have this lamba expression

tvPatientPrecriptionsEntities.Sort((p1, p2) =>
p1.MedicationStartDate.Value.CompareTo(p2.MedicationStartDate.Value));

Visual studio will not compile it and complains about syntax.

I converted the lamba expression to an anonymous delegate as so

tvPatientPrecriptionsEntities.Sort(
  delegate(PatientPrecriptionsEntity p1, PatientPrecriptionsEntity p2) 
  { return p1.MedicationStartDate.Value.CompareTo(p2.MedicationStartDate.Value); }
  );

and it works fine.

The project is uses the .net 3.5 framework and I have a reference to system.linq.
