Hi,

Have a look here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/44fafe4a-324f-4fe5-9c79-477e68923f96/what-si-difference-between-stringcompare-stringcompareto-and-in-c?forum=csharpgeneral[^]

Short explained: Compare() is very similar to CompareTo(), but is useful if the first string can be null, because Compare() can handle null strings.
