Methods Visibility Name Parameters Return Type public Compare ( Object x , Object y ) Int32

The IComparer interface is used in conjunction with the Array.Sort and Array.BinarySearch methods. It provides a way to customize the sort order of a collection.

The default implementation of this interface is the Comparer class.

Comparison procedures use the Thread.CurrentCulture of the current thread unless otherwise specified. String comparisons might have different results depending on the culture.

For more information on culture-specific comparisons, see the System.Globalization namespace and Developing World-Ready Applications.
