Overloads

Compare(Boolean, Boolean)

Returns comparison information for Boolean parameters in an operation expression.
Compare(Guid, Guid)

Returns comparison information for GUID parameters in an operation expression.
Compare(Nullable<Boolean>, Nullable<Boolean>)

Returns comparison information for nullable Boolean parameters in an operation expression.
Compare(Nullable<Guid>, Nullable<Guid>)

Returns comparison information for nullable GUID parameters in an operation expression.
Compare(String, String)

Compare(Boolean, Boolean)

Returns comparison information for Boolean parameters in an operation expression.

public:
 static int Compare(bool left, bool right);
public static int Compare (bool left, bool right);
static member Compare : bool * bool -> int
Public Shared Function Compare (left As Boolean, right As Boolean) As Integer

Parameters

left
Boolean

The first parameter value.

right
Boolean

The second parameter value.

Returns

Int32
Value Condition
-1 left is less than right.
0 x equals y.
1 left is greater than right.

Remarks

In this comparison, true is greater than false.

Applies to

Compare(Guid, Guid)

Returns comparison information for GUID parameters in an operation expression.

public:
 static int Compare(Guid left, Guid right);

Parameters

left
Guid

The first parameter value.

right
Guid

The second parameter value.

Returns

Int32
Value Condition
-1 left is less than right.
0 x equals y.

Returns comparison information for string parameters in an operation expression.

public:
 static int Compare(System::String ^ left, System::String ^ right);
public static int Compare (string left, string right);
static member Compare : string * string -> int
Public Shared Function Compare (left As String, right As String) As Integer

Parameters
