SortKey.Compare(SortKey, SortKey) Method

Definition

Compares two sort keys.

public:
 static int Compare(System::Globalization::SortKey ^ sortkey1, System::Globalization::SortKey ^ sortkey2);
public static int Compare (System.Globalization.SortKey sortkey1, System.Globalization.SortKey sortkey2);
static member Compare : System.Globalization.SortKey * System.Globalization.SortKey -> int
Public Shared Function Compare (sortkey1 As SortKey, sortkey2 As SortKey) As Integer

Parameters

sortkey1
SortKey

The first sort key to compare.

sortkey2
SortKey

The second sort key to compare.

Returns

A signed integer that indicates the relationship between sortkey1 and sortkey2.

Value Condition
Less than zero sortkey1 is less than sortkey2.
Zero sortkey1 is equal to sortkey2.
Greater than zero sortkey1 is greater than sortkey2.

Exceptions

sortkey1 or sortkey2 is null.

Examples

The following code example compares two strings using the Compare method and the equivalent CompareInfo.Compare(String, String, CompareOptions) method.

// This code example demonstrates the CompareInfo.Compare() and
// SortKey.Compare() methods.

using System;
using System.Globalization;

class Sample

    Console.WriteLine("\nCreate a CompareInfo object for the en-US culture...\n");
    CompareInfo cmpi = CompareInfo.GetCompareInfo("en-US");
// Alternatively:
//  CompareInfo cmpi = new CultureInfo("en-US").CompareInfo;

// Create sort keys for lowercase and uppercase "abc", the en-US culture, and
// ignore case.
    SortKey sk1LowerIgnCase = cmpi.GetSortKey(lowerABC, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase);
    SortKey sk2UpperIgnCase = cmpi.GetSortKey(upperABC, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase);

// Create sort keys for lowercase and uppercase "abc", the en-US culture, and
// use case.
    SortKey sk1LowerUseCase = cmpi.GetSortKey(lowerABC, CompareOptions.None);

Remarks

The Compare method compares the KeyData properties of the sortkey1 and sortkey2 parameters. The method yields the same results as the CompareInfo.Compare method.

For more information about the Compare method and the comparison of sort keys, see the SortKey class topic.
