Compare()

int System.Collections.Comparer.Compare	(	object	a,
		object	b
	)

Performs a case-sensitive comparison of two objects of the same type and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other.

Parameters

a	The first object to compare.
b	The second object to compare.

Returns

A signed integer that indicates the relative values of a and b , as shown in the following table.Value Meaning Less than zero a is less than b . Zero a equals b . Greater than zero a is greater than b .

Exceptions

T:System.ArgumentException

Neither a nor b implements the T:System.IComparable interface.-or- a and b are of different types and neither one can handle comparisons with the other.

Implements System.Collections.IComparer.

GetObjectData()

void System.Collections.Comparer.GetObjectData	(	SerializationInfo	info,
		StreamingContext	context
	)

Populates a T:System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo object with the data required for serialization.

Parameters

info	The object to populate with data.
context	The context information about the source or destination of the serialization.

Exceptions

T:System.ArgumentNullException

info is null.

Implements System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable.
