Comparer<T> Class

Definition

Provides a base class for implementations of the IComparer<T> generic interface.

generic <typename T>
public ref class Comparer abstract : System::Collections::Generic::IComparer<T>, System::Collections::IComparer
public abstract class Comparer<T> : System.Collections.Generic.IComparer<T>, System.Collections.IComparer
[System.Serializable]
public abstract class Comparer<T> : System.Collections.Generic.IComparer<T>, System.Collections.IComparer
type Comparer<'T> = class
    interface IComparer<'T>
    interface IComparer
[<System.Serializable>]
type Comparer<'T> = class
    interface IComparer
    interface IComparer<'T>
Public MustInherit Class Comparer(Of T)
Implements IComparer, IComparer(Of T)

Type Parameters

T

The type of objects to compare.

Inheritance
Comparer<T>
Attributes
Implements

Examples

The following example derives a class, BoxLengthFirst, from the Comparer<T> class. This comparer compares two objects of type Box. It sorts them first by length, then by height, and then by width. The Box class implements the IComparable<T> interface to control the default comparison between two Box objects. This default implementation sorts first by height, then by length, and then by width. The example shows the differences between the two comparisons by sorting a list of Box objects first by using the BoxLengthFirst comparer and then by using the default comparer.

Remarks

Derive from this class to provide a custom implementation of the IComparer<T> interface for use with collection classes such as the SortedList<TKey,TValue> and SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue> generic classes.

The difference between deriving from the Comparer<T> class and implementing the System.IComparable interface is as follows:

  • To specify how two objects should be compared by default, implement the System.IComparable interface in your class. This ensures that sort operations will use the default comparison code that you provided.

  • To define a comparer to use instead of the default comparer, derive from the Comparer<T> class. You can then use this comparer in sort operations that take a comparer as a parameter.

The object returned by the Default property uses the System.IComparable<T> generic interface (IComparable<T> in C#, IComparable(Of T) in Visual Basic) to compare two objects. If type T does not implement the System.IComparable<T> generic interface, the Default property returns a Comparer<T> that uses the System.IComparable interface.

Notes to Implementers

Compare(T, T) and Equals(T, T) may behave differently in terms of culture-sensitivity and case-sensitivity.

For string comparisons, the StringComparer class is recommended over Comparer<String>. Properties of the StringComparer class return predefined instances that perform string comparisons with different combinations of culture-sensitivity and case-sensitivity. The case-sensitivity and culture-sensitivity are consistent among the members of the same StringComparer instance.

For more information on culture-specific comparisons, see the System.Globalization namespace and Globalization and Localization.

Constructors

Comparer<T>()

Initializes a new instance of the Comparer<T> class.

Properties

Default

Returns a default sort order comparer for the type specified by the generic argument.

Methods

Compare(T, T)

When overridden in a derived class, performs a comparison of two objects of the same type and returns a value indicating whether one object is less than, equal to, or greater than the other.

Create(Comparison<T>)

Creates a comparer by using the specified comparison.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

IComparer.Compare(Object, Object)

Compares two objects and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other.
