Method CompareToOrdinal

CompareToOrdinal(String, String)

This method mimics the Java String.compareTo(String) method in that it

  1. Compares the strings using lexographic sorting rules
  2. Performs a culture-insensitive comparison
This method is a convenience to replace the .NET CompareTo method on all strings, provided the logic does not expect specific values but is simply comparing them with > or <.
