Obviously all of those work, if you know the string you want to compare thing to, you don't need to create a variable just to compare (I'm pretty sure, the program I made today seems to work, so I suspect this is right).

eg:

string input = HeresSomethingIPreparedEarlier();
if (input.ToLower() == "cake")
    return "pie";

I suspect some of those other functions are there so Java programmers feel more comfortable (eg: in Java you have to use .equals() when comparing a variable string (eg string cake = "pie") to a constant (eg: "pie").

lol, left the closing bracket off the if statement...n00bish.

lol, n00bs are taught that method in school when they learn .NET, as it is the proper method.

You are just arguing to increase your contest points. I believe I have seen you use my method before.

Incorrect on both counts. First, the contest has finished. Secondly, I have never used string.Compare() before in my memory. You fail, lulz.
