  Oh !! Thanks Mahesh, now i understand where i made mistake, I thought it works on ASCII value and that's why there was some confusion, but now i understood that it works on alphabetic order like from a,b,c.....X,Y,Z and it compares the position of these letters right ??.

  Hello Mahesh, I have some doubt with Compare(), this method works by taking each characters of a string with their ASCII values right??? If yes then let's take an example of a and A. ACSII value of a = 97 and A = 65, when it compares these 2 string i.e. Compare("a","A"), it returns -1. in other way, Compare(97,65), value of a > value of A i.e. (97 > 65), which means first string is greater than second, As per the above table it supposed to return 1, then why it returns -1 ?? Please help.....

    Where did you read that is use ASCII values? From MSDN: The comparison uses the current culture to obtain culture-specific information such as casing rules and the alphabetic order of individual characters. For example, a culture could specify that certain combinations of characters be treated as a single character, or uppercase and lowercase characters be compared in a particular way, or that the sorting order of a character depends on the characters that precede or follow it.

  string.Compare("W", "V") give the result 1, but string.Compare("WA", "VB") give the result -1 I'm at a computer with Swedish version of Windows, could that impact? Culture Info? The first case seems resonable (W is > V, as we speak strings), but what about case 2? Regards, Anders Axi
