The Comparer class is used to compare two objects of the same type. The Compare( ) method takes two objects. If the first object is less than the second, a negative value is returned. If the first object is greater than the second, a positive value is returned. If the objects are equal, zero is returned. The comparisons of strings are case-sensitive. For case-insensitive string comparisons, use CaseInsensitiveComparer . You can obtain a standard comparer that uses the System.Globalization.InvariantCulture rules for string comparisons by using the CaseInsensitiveComparer instance returned from the static DefaultInvariant property.
