Hi,

I don't understand very well the diferences between both. When should each be
used?

Thanks

Generally, IComparable is implemented by the class itself, while
IComparer is implemented by a separate class. If you wanted to sort a
collection both with & without regard to case at different times, you might
create two IComparer helper classes for the class.
