## Remarks  
 When you call comparison functions, you can use the `CompareMethod` enumeration in your code in place of the actual values. The `Compare` argument takes the `CompareMethod` enumeration members.  
  
 For details on binary and text comparisons, see [Option Compare Statement](~/docs/visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-compare-statement.md).
