Searching a class for a record

More problems with this FriendList Class.

I figured out how to implement the IComparer interface to
provide a default sort on my array of objects. Now I am asked
to provide a string input and get results from the matching array item.

I have to go like this:


1. enter the name
2. display phone number and b day that matches that name.

BELOW IS THE IComparable methid that makes it sort. You can
see it compares the string Name!

// Implement IComparable CompareTo to provide default sort order.
// THIS SORT WORKS!!!
int IComparable.CompareTo(object obj)
{
Friends f=(Friends)obj;
return String.Compare(this.Name,f.Name);
}

But what do I use to compare the input to this.

I have so far:

Console.WriteLine("Enter the Name:");
input = Console.ReadLine();
eString = Convert.ToString(input);

Now what do I do. Would a binary search work? Or do I have
to call the Comparer somehow. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks

Looks to me like you need to create a Friends object using the input name and pass this newly created object to your CompareTo function.
