I am not sure if this is the same in .net as java but I thought it might help so I thought I would put it out for the compare text question. using the == operator to compare the values of primitive variables and determine if they are equal. If object reference variables are compared using the == operator, it returns true only if the reference variables are referring to the same object.
Object classes provide equals(Object obj) methods, which can be overridden to return true for logically equal objects. The default implementation of the equals() method in the Object class returns true only if an object is compared to itself. Classes like String and Boolean have overridden the equals() method, while StringBuffer has not. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 3:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] What's best way to compare text where do you get the figure 6 vs. 2?

It talks about the performance considerations which is generally what people are asking about, the raw speed of the operation.
