ok, i have the following enumeration:

enum CompareMethod {
	BinaryCompare	= 0,
	TextCompare	= 1
}

and the following function for comparing two char[] strings, (AString is an alias for char[]) and it gives me a
-no property 'CompareText' for type 'int'
compile eror...

public int StrComp(AString Value1,AString Value2,CompareMethod Compare) {
        int len1 = Value1.length;
        int len2 = Value2.length;
        int result = 0;

  try {
	if (len1 == len2) {
		if (Compare == CompareMethod.CompareText)
			{ result = memcmp((char*)Value1,(char*)Value2,len1); }
		else
			{result = memicmp((char*)Value1,(char*)Value2,len1);}
		return result; }
	else
		{ return result; }
	}
   catch
	{ return result; }

}

would somebody be able to posibly tell me what im doing wrong, im thinking im using the enum incorectly, but i dont know how...

thanks

woops nm, mistyped it :( boy i feel stupid now

Can you bit a bit clearer about what you're trying to achieve and, since you said you made a typo, post again, after having converted tabs to spaces, so we can see your code in its formatted state?

:)

*reformatted*
//enum of compare methods
enum CompareMethod {
	BinaryCompare 	= 0,
	TextCompare 	= 1
}

and the following function for comparing two char[] strings, (AString is
an alias for char[]) and it gives me a:
 -no property 'CompareText' for type 'int'
compile eror...

public int StrComp(AString Value1, AString Value2, CompareMethod Compare) {

    int len1 = Value1.length;
    int len2 = Value2.length;
    int result = 0; //assume failure

   try {
       if (len1 == len2) {
           if (Compare == CompareMethod.CompareText) //check compare method desired
              { result = memcmp((char*)Value1,(char*)Value2,len1); }
           else
              {result = memicmp((char*)Value1,(char*)Value2,len1);}
           return result; }
       else
          { return result; } //failed, unequal length
       }
   catch
       { return result; } //error
}

after looking at it after i posted i seen the error
this line > Compare == CompareMethod.CompareText
should be > Compare == CompareMethod.TextCompare

basically its a function for comparing two strings either case sensitive or non case sensitive, i dont even know if it works yet lol

another bug i found in this code

int result = 0; //assume failure
should be
int result = 1; //assume failure
