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

public:
 static property System::Collections::Generic::Comparer<T> ^ Default { System::Collections::Generic::Comparer<T> ^ get(); };
public static System.Collections.Generic.Comparer<T> Default { get; }
static member Default : System.Collections.Generic.Comparer<'T>
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Default As Comparer(Of T)

Property Value

Comparer<T>

An object that inherits Comparer<T> and serves as a sort order comparer for type T.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the Default property to get an object that performs the default comparison. This example is part of a larger example provided for the Comparer<T> class.

// Get the default comparer that
// sorts first by the height.
Comparer<Box> defComp = Comparer<Box>.Default;

// Calling Boxes.Sort() with no parameter
// is the same as calling Boxs.Sort(defComp)
// because they are both using the default comparer.
Boxes.Sort();

foreach (Box bx in Boxes)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}",
        bx.Height.ToString(), bx.Length.ToString(),
        bx.Width.ToString());
}

// Get the default comparer that
// sorts first by the height.
let defComp = Comparer<Box>.Default

// Calling Boxes.Sort() with no parameter
// is the same as calling boxes.Sort defComp
// because they are both using the default comparer.
boxes.Sort()

for bx in boxes do
    printfn $"{bx.Height}\t{bx.Length}\t{bx.Width}"

' Get the default comparer that 
' sorts first by the height.
Dim defComp As Comparer(Of Box) = Comparer(Of Box).Default

' Calling Boxes.Sort() with no parameter
' is the same as calling Boxs.Sort(defComp)
' because they are both using the default comparer.
Boxes.Sort()

For Each bx As Box In Boxes
    Console.WriteLine("{0}" & vbTab & "{1}" & vbTab & "{2}", _
                      bx.Height.ToString(), _
                      bx.Length.ToString(), _
                      bx.Width.ToString())
Next bx

Remarks

The Comparer<T> returned by this 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, this property returns a Comparer<T> that uses the System.IComparable interface.

Notes to Callers

For string comparisons, the StringComparer class is recommended over Comparer<String> (Comparer(Of String) in Visual Basic). 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.
