    default comparer

    Hello everyone,


    For a customized class, like I showed in my sample, what will Comparer<>.Default be returned? In my sample, there is System.ArgumentException.

    Code:
    class Program
        {
            class Foo
            {
    
            }
            
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                IComparer<Foo> FooComparer = Comparer<Foo>.Default;
                Foo f1 = new Foo();
                Foo f2 = new Foo();
    
                // System.ArgumentException
                FooComparer.Compare(f1, f2);
    
                return;
            }
        }

    thanks in advance,
    George

    Too lazy for reading again ? Read the text of the exception. Read the MSDN for Comparer, especially the first block that is named "Remarks". Then it should be obvious, what you are missing.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
