Comparer = class (System.Object, IComparer);

Console.WriteLine('Comparing "{0}" and "{1}" ...', str1, str2); Console.WriteLine(' Invariant Comparer: {0}', Comparer.DefaultInvariant.Compare (str1, str2)); // Uses the Comparer based on the //culture "es-ES" (Spanish - Spain, international sort). myCompIntl := Comparer.Create(CultureInfo.Create('es-ES', False)); Console.WriteLine(' International Sort: {0}', myCompIntl.Compare(str1, str2)); // Uses the Comparer based on the culture //identifier 0x040A (Spanish - Spain, traditional sort). myCompTrad := Comparer.Create(CultureInfo.Create(1034, False)); Console.WriteLine(' Traditional Sort : {0}', myCompTrad.Compare(str1, str2)); end; //test program begin SamplesComparer.Main; end. |
