    Object value2
)

public:
virtual int Compare(

    value2 : Object
) : int

Parameters

typeName
Type: System.String

The first value to compare.

value2
Type: System.Object

The second value to compare.

Implements

IVsDataObjectMemberComparer.Compare(String, String, Object, Object)

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The typeName and/or propertyName parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

This method should use the same comparison rules as the data source to ensure the correct sorting of objects on the client side.

The base implementation of this method uses the default .NET Framework object comparer (Comparer) when the first value implements IComparable; otherwise it calls the IComparable implementation's override Equals method and returns 1 if this returns false.

.NET Framework Security

Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
