Parameters
- n1
A Nullable object.
- n2
A Nullable object.
Return Value
An integer that indicates the relative values of the n1 and n2 parameters.
| Return Value | Description |
| Less than zero | The HasValue property for n1 is false, and the HasValue property for n2 is true. -or- The HasValue properties for n1 and n2 are true, and the value of the Value property for n1 is less than the value of the Value property for n2. |
| Zero | The HasValue properties for n1 and n2 are false. -or- The HasValue properties for n1 and n2 are true, and the value of the Value property for n1 is equal to the value of the Value property for n2. |
| Greater than zero | The HasValue property for n1 is true, and the HasValue property for n2 is false. -or- The HasValue properties for n1 and n2 are true, and the value of the Value property for n1 is greater than the value of the Value property for n2. |
