PathComparer Methods

Lexicographically compares two strings for relative order.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Compares two strings which represent file system paths for equality.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as the default hash function.

Calculate hash code of a file system path.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Converts path to its normalized representation:

• Converts relative path to absolute path, using current directory and current drive information
• Replaces 'dot' path segments ('.' and '..') with appropriate directories
• Converts directory separators to primary directory separator
• Converts shortened 8.3 names to long names
• Strips trailing directory separators
• It's not required to normalize casing

Returns a string that represents the current object.
