Re: String Comparision

Use the CompareTo method of the string.

string a = "A";
a.CompareTo("B" );

see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...compareto.aspx
for details.

Re: String Comparision

Thanks but when i do

string a = "Z";
a.CompareTo("BA ");

system tells me that Z is greater than BA. :(

Re: String Comparision

Oh, sorry, I misread your question. You must implement the comparison by
yourself in this case.

Re: String Comparision

Thanks Guys for your help...

I have implemented my own comparer and it works...
:)
Code is in vb in c# forum sorry

Dim comp As New MyStringCompare r
myAL.Sort(comp)

and my last value is in myAl.item(myAL. count -1)

Public Class MyStringCompare r
Implements IComparer

Function Compare(ByVal x As Object, ByVal y As Object) As Integer
Implements IComparer.Compa re
Dim s1 As String = CStr(x)
Dim s2 As String = CStr(y)
If s1.Length < s2.Length Then
Return -1
ElseIf s1.Length = s2.Length Then
Return String.Compare( s1, s2)
Else
Return 1
End If
End Function
End Class

Make sure you Trim and UpperCase the strings also.
