String.Compare

 OverviewExamples

number String.Compare ( 

string Text,

string CompareTo )

Example 1

compare_result = String.Compare("John", "Mary");

Compares the string "John" to the string "Mary" and stores the result in the variable "compare_result." Since "John" is less than "Mary", the number -1 would be returned.

Example 2

IsBigger = String.Compare("Bob", "Bob");

Compares the string "Bob" to the second string "Bob" and stores the result in the variable "IsBigger." Since both strings are the same, the number 0 would be returned.

Example 3

IsBigger = String.Compare("Bob", "bob");

Compares the string "Bob" to the second string "bob" and stores the result in the variable "IsBigger." Since the comparison is case-sensitive, the strings are not the same. The string "Bob" is less than the string "bob", therefore the number -1 would be returned.
