Compare(String, String)
Performs a logical comparison between two strings.
public override int Compare (string? s1, string? s2);override this.Compare : string * string -> intPublic Overrides Function Compare (s1 As String, s2 As String) As IntegerParameters
- s1
- String
The first string to compare.
- s2
- String
The second string to compare.
Returns

| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Less than zero | s1 precedes s2 in the sort order.
|
| Zero | s1 occurs in the same position as s2 in the sort order.
|
| Greater than zero | s1 follows s2 in the sort order.

Applies to
Compare(String, Int32, Int32, String, Int32, Int32)
Performs a logical comparison between substrings of two strings.
public int Compare (string? s1, int start1, int length1, string? s2, int start2, int length2);override this.Compare : string * int * int * string * int * int -> intPublic Function Compare (s1 As String, start1 As Integer, length1 As Integer, s2 As String, start2 As Integer, length2 As Integer) As IntegerParameters
- s1
- String
The first string to use in the comparison.

- start2
- Int32
The position of the substring within s2.
- length2
- Int32
The length of the substring within s2.
Returns
A signed integer that indicates the relative values of x and y, as shown in the following table:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Less than zero |
The substring in s1 precedes the substring in s2 in the sort order.
|
