Detailed Description

template<class T>
interface DotNetDupe::System::IComparable< T >

Defines a generalized type-specific comparison method that a value type or class implements to order or sort its instances.

Defines a generalized comparison method that a value type or class implements to create a type-safe comparison method for ordering or sorting its instances.

Member Function Documentation

CompareTo() [1/2]

template<class T>

virtual int DotNetDupe::System::IComparable< T >::CompareTo ( const Object & obj )

pure virtual

Compares the current instance with another object and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object.

Parameters

obj	An object to compare with this instance.

Returns

A value that indicates the relative order of the objects being compared. Less than zero: this instance precedes obj. Zero: this instance occurs in the same position. Greater than zero: this instance follows obj.

CompareTo() [2/2]

template<class T>

virtual int DotNetDupe::System::IComparable< T >::CompareTo ( const T & other )

pure virtual

Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer indicating relative order.

Parameters

other

An object to compare with this instance.

Returns

A value that indicates the relative order of the objects being compared. Less than zero: this precedes other. Zero: same position. Greater than zero: this follows other.
