Name Description
CompareTo(Object)

Jämför den här instansen med en angiven Object och anger om den här instansen föregår, följer eller visas i samma position i sorteringsordningen som den angivna Object.

CompareTo(String)

Jämför den här instansen med ett angivet String objekt och anger om den här instansen föregår, följer eller visas i samma position i sorteringsordningen som den angivna strängen.

Kommentarer

Båda överlagringarna av CompareTo metoden utför kulturkänsliga och skiftlägeskänsliga jämförelser. Du kan inte använda den här metoden för att utföra kulturokänsliga eller ordningskänsliga jämförelser. För tydlighetens CompareTo kod rekommenderar vi att du undviker metoden och anropar Compare metoden i stället.

Värde Tillstånd
Mindre än noll Den här instansen föregår value.
Noll Den här instansen har samma position i sorteringsordningen som value.
Större än noll Den här instansen följer value.

-eller-

Implementeringar

Undantag

value är inte en String.

Exempel

I följande exempel används CompareTo metoden med en Object. Eftersom den försöker jämföra en String instans med ett TestClass objekt genererar metoden en ArgumentException.

using System;

public class TestClass
{}

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      var test = new TestClass();
      Object[] objectsToCompare = { test, test.ToString(), 123,
                                    123.ToString(), "some text",
                                    "Some Text" };
      string s = "some text";
      foreach (var objectToCompare in objectsToCompare) {
         try {
            int i = s.CompareTo(objectToCompare);
            Console.WriteLine("Comparing '{0}' with '{1}': {2}",

Kommentarer

value måste vara ett String objekt.

Caution

Metoden CompareTo har främst utformats för sortering eller alfabetisering. Det bör inte användas när det primära syftet med metodanropet är att avgöra om två strängar är likvärdiga. Om du vill avgöra om två strängar är likvärdiga anropar du Equals metoden.

Den här metoden utför en ordjämförelse (skiftlägeskänslig och kulturkänslig) med hjälp av den aktuella kulturen. Mer information om ord, sträng och ordningstal finns i System.Globalization.CompareOptions.

Mer information om beteendet för den här metoden finns i avsnittet Kommentarer i String.Compare(String, String) metoden.

Anteckningar till anropare

Teckenuppsättningar innehåller okunniga tecken. Metoden CompareTo(Object) tar inte hänsyn till sådana tecken när den utför en kulturkänslig jämförelse. Om till exempel följande kod körs på .NET Framework 4 eller senare, anger en jämförelse av "animal" med "ani-mal" (med ett mjukt bindestreck eller U+00AD) att de två strängarna är likvärdiga.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string s1 = "ani\u00ADmal";
      object o1 = "animal";
      
      Console.WriteLine("Comparison of '{0}' and '{1}': {2}", 
                        s1, o1, s1.CompareTo(o1));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Comparison of 'ani-mal' and 'animal': 0
let s1 = "ani\u00ADmal"
let o1: obj = "animal"
      
printfn $"Comparison of '{s1}' and '{o1}': {s1.CompareTo o1}"
// The example displays the following output:
//       Comparison of 'ani-mal' and 'animal': 0
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim s1 As String = "ani" + ChrW(&h00AD) + "mal"
      Dim o1 As Object = "animal"
      
      Console.WriteLine("Comparison of '{0}' and '{1}': {2}", 
                        s1, o1, s1.CompareTo(o1))
  End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       Comparison of 'ani-mal' and 'animal': 0

Om du vill känna igen okunniga tecken i en strängjämförelse anropar du CompareOrdinal(String, String) metoden.

Kommentarer

Den här metoden utför en ordjämförelse (skiftlägeskänslig och kulturkänslig) med hjälp av den aktuella kulturen. Mer information om ord, sträng och ordningstal finns i System.Globalization.CompareOptions.

Caution

Metoden CompareTo har främst utformats för sortering eller alfabetisering. Det bör inte användas när det primära syftet med metodanropet är att avgöra om två strängar är likvärdiga. Om du vill avgöra om två strängar är likvärdiga anropar du Equals metoden.

Mer information om beteendet för den här metoden finns i avsnittet Kommentarer i Compare(String, String) metoden.

Den här metoden implementerar System.IComparable<T> gränssnittet och presterar något bättre än String.CompareTo(Object) metoden eftersom den inte behöver avgöra om strB argumentet är en föränderlig värdetyp som måste boxas, och den behöver inte omvandla parametern från en Object till en String.

Anteckningar till anropare

Teckenuppsättningar innehåller okunniga tecken. Metoden CompareTo(String) tar inte hänsyn till sådana tecken när den utför en kulturkänslig jämförelse. Om till exempel följande kod körs på .NET Framework 4 eller senare, anger en jämförelse av "animal" med "ani-mal" (med ett mjukt bindestreck eller U+00AD) att de två strängarna är likvärdiga.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string s1 = "ani\u00ADmal";
      string s2 = "animal";
      
      Console.WriteLine("Comparison of '{0}' and '{1}': {2}", 
                        s1, s2, s1.CompareTo(s2));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Comparison of 'ani-mal' and 'animal': 0
let s1 = "ani\u00ADmal"
let s2 = "animal"

printfn $"Comparison of '{s1}' and '{s2}': {s1.CompareTo s2}"
// The example displays the following output:
//       Comparison of 'ani-mal' and 'animal': 0
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim s1 As String = "ani" + ChrW(&h00AD) + "mal"
      Dim s2 As String = "animal"
      
      Console.WriteLine("Comparison of '{0}' and '{1}': {2}", 
                        s1, s2, s1.CompareTo(s2))
  End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       Comparison of 'ani-mal' and 'animal': 0

Om du vill känna igen okunniga tecken i en strängjämförelse anropar du CompareOrdinal(String, String) metoden.
