String.Compare() versus String.Equals()

Hi,

System.String class contains the static methods'Compare' and'Equals' which are used for string comparison.

public static int Compare(string strA,string strB)

public static bool Equals(string a,string b)

Please, can someone tell me the difference between these two methods...

Thank you,

Struggling - static vs void etc?

I am really struggling to conceptually understand classes in C# especially
the use of the strange keywords 'static' 'void' and 'override'...

Is there a 'idiots' way of understanding these concepts broadly before even
touching a line of code...

Thanks

Static = non-object
Void = a method that does not return a value
Override = when you decide to discard the origins and implenet your own.

I found this sample chapter on C# extremly helpful...as a newbie I have
been searching for a 'magic' way to instantly digesting the 'broad' concepts
in C# this tutorial helped me a lot:
