Hi,

use CompareTo

ex: if (book1.LabelText9.CompareTo(book2.LabelText9) > 0)

If book.LabelText9 and book2.LabelText9 contain integer values then type cast them into the right type and then apply the '>' operator.

Convert.ToInt32(book1.LabelText9) > Convert.ToInt32(book2.LabelText9).

But if you are trying to check the length of the text in these two labels then try book1.LabelText9**.Length**.

book1.LabelText9**.Length >** book2.LabelText9**.Length**

If you are checking for the characters as in if("book" > "Book") then I suggest you to use CompareTo string operator.
