Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest>.IComparable.CompareTo Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Compares the current Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> object to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates whether the current object is before, after, or in the same position as the specified object in the sort order.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Private Function CompareTo ( _
    obj As Object _
) As Integer Implements IComparable.CompareTo
int IComparable.CompareTo(
    Object obj
)

Parameters

  • obj
    Type: System.Object
    An object to compare with the current instance.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
A signed integer that indicates the relative position of this instance and obj in the sort order, as shown in the following table.

Value

Description

A negative integer

This instance precedes obj.

Zero

This instance and obj have the same position in the sort order.

A positive integer

This instance follows obj.

Implements

IComparable.CompareTo(Object)

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

obj is not a Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> object.

Remarks

This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> instance is cast to an IComparable interface.

This method provides the IComparable.CompareTo implementation for the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7> class. Although the method can be called directly, it is most commonly called by the default overloads of collection-sorting methods, such as Array.Sort(Array), to order the members of a collection.

Caution noteCaution:

The IComparable.CompareTo method is intended for use in sorting operations. It should not be used when the primary purpose of a comparison is to determine whether two objects are equal. To determine whether two objects are equal, call the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7>.Equals(Object) method.

This method uses the Comparer<T>.Default comparer.

Examples

The following example creates an array of octuples whose components are integers that contain a range of prime numbers. The example displays the elements of the array in unsorted order, sorts the array, and then displays the array in sorted order. The output shows that the array has been sorted by Item1, or the tuple's first component. Note that the example does not directly call the IComparable.CompareTo(Object) method. This method is called implicitly by the Sort(Array) method for each element in the array.
