 *** 2. StrComp Syntax *** 


Purpose:
Returns -1, 0, or 1, based on the result of a string comparison.
-1 String1 sorts ahead of String2
0 String1 is equal to String2
1 String1 sorts after String2


Syntax:
StrComp(string1,string2,comparemethod) – returns integer

Parameters Description
string1 Required – string input that you want to
compare
string2 Required – string input that you want to
compare
comparemethod Optional – CompareMethod.Text – does case
insensitive comparisons; CompareMethod.Binary – does case sensitive
comparisons. If Comparemethod is omitted,
the Option Compare setting determines the compare method

Result Data Type Description
integer Returns -1, 0, or 1, based on the result of a string comparison.
-1 String1 sorts ahead of String2
0 String1 is equal to String2
1 String1 sorts after String2


 *** 3. StrComp – Quick Example *** 

Dim strString1 As String = “XYZ”
Dim strString2 As String = “xyz”
TextBox1.Text = StrComp(strString1, strString2, CompareMethod.Text).ToString ‘Returns 0
TextBox1.Text = StrComp(strString1, strString2, CompareMethod.Binary).ToString ‘Returns -1
strString2 = “ABC”
TextBox1.Text = StrComp(strString1, strString2).ToString ‘Returns 1
