CompareSequence(Dictionary<String, String>, Dictionary<String, String>, StringComparison)

Compares two specified generic dictionaries.

Declaration

public static int CompareSequence(Dictionary<string, string> source, Dictionary<string, string> target, StringComparison comparisonType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<System.String, System.String>	source	The first collection.
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<System.String, System.String>	target	The second collection.
System.StringComparison	comparisonType	Specifies the culture, case, and sort rules to be used when determining the lexical relationship.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Int32	A 32-bit signed integer indicating the lexical relationship between the two comparands.

Remarks

If the collections contain the same number of elements, determines the lexical relationship between the two sequences of comparands.

If the source has an element count that is greater than the target element count, returns 1.

If the source has an element count that is less than the target element count, returns -1.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentNullException	The `source` is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
