SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>.Comparer Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Collections.Generic

Assembly:

System.Collections.dll

Source:

SortedDictionary.cs

Gets the IComparer<T> used to order the elements of the SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>.

public:
 property System::Collections::Generic::IComparer<TKey> ^ Comparer { System::Collections::Generic::IComparer<TKey> ^ get(); };

public System.Collections.Generic.IComparer<TKey> Comparer { get; }

member this.Comparer : System.Collections.Generic.IComparer<'Key>

Public ReadOnly Property Comparer As IComparer(Of TKey)

Property Value

IComparer<TKey>

The IComparer<T> used to order the elements of the SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>

Remarks

SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue> requires a comparer implementation to perform key comparisons. You can specify an implementation of the IComparer<T> generic interface by using a constructor that accepts a comparer parameter. If you do not, the default generic equality comparer, Comparer<T>.Default, is used. If type TKey implements the System.IComparable<T> generic interface, the default comparer uses that implementation.

Getting the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
