 To fix violations of this rule, replace the expression comparing the result of <xref:System.String.Compare%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> with a call to <xref:System.String.Equals%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>.
 
+## Example
+
+```csharp
+string leftValue = "...";
+string rightValue = "...";
+
+// This code violates the rule.
+bool areEqualUsingCompare = string.Compare(leftValue, rightValue, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0;
+
+// This code satisfies the rule.
+bool areEqualUsingEquals = string.Equals(leftValue, rightValue, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
+```
