ComparisonSettings Enumeration
.NET Framework 4.5
Describes the object comparison modes that can be used with CompareTo. Note that these values may be combined.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
Namespace: System.Management
Assembly: System.Management (in System.Management.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| IncludeAll | A mode that compares all elements of the compared objects. Value: 0. | |
| IgnoreQualifiers | A mode that compares the objects, ignoring qualifiers. Value: 1. | |
| IgnoreObjectSource | A mode that ignores the source of the objects, namely the server and the namespace they came from, in comparison to other objects. Value: 2. | |
| IgnoreDefaultValues | A mode that ignores the default values of properties. This value is only meaningful when comparing classes. Value: 4. | |
| IgnoreClass | A mode that assumes that the objects being compared are instances of the same class. Consequently, this value causes comparison of instance-related information only. Use this flag to optimize performance. If the objects are not of the same class, the results are undefined. Value: 8. | |
| IgnoreCase | A mode that compares string values in a case-insensitive manner. This applies to strings and to qualifier values. Property and qualifier names are always compared in a case-insensitive manner whether this flag is specified or not. Value: 16. | |
| IgnoreFlavor | A mode that ignores qualifier flavors. This flag still takes qualifier values into account, but ignores flavor distinctions such as propagation rules and override restrictions. Value: 32. |
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
