How do you do int, double, etc. without using ToString()?

list.Sort( (x,y) => x.Int.CompareTo(y.Int))

In .NET I believe the two are basically the same.

2) Close allows the .NET garbage collection engine to work on its own. Dispose forces garbage collection of a particular object. Basically memory management. (Dispose usually still gets called eventually in the close method, but behind the scenes)

what is the difference between == and Equals ?

int a = 5;
int b = 5;

if (a == b)
{
    //The above expression returned a true
    //so the code in this block will be executed
}

public static bool operator ==(MyObject myObjectA, MyObject myObjectB)
{
    return (myObjectA.value == myObjectB.value);
}

public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
    if (obj is MyObject)
        return Equals((MyObject)obj);
    return false;
}
public bool Equals(MyObject other)
{
    return this.value == other.value; // uses == operator
