TimeSpan Greater Than Operator

.NET Framework 1.1

Indicates whether a specified TimeSpan is greater than another specified TimeSpan.

[Visual Basic]
returnValue = TimeSpan.op_GreaterThan(t1, t2)
[C#]
public static bool operator >(
 TimeSpan t1,
 TimeSpan t2
);
[C++]
public: static bool op_GreaterThan(
 TimeSpan t1,
 TimeSpan t2
);
[JScript]
returnValue = t1 > t2;

[Visual Basic] In Visual Basic, you can use the operators defined by a type, but you cannot define your own. You can use the Compare method instead of the TimeSpan greater than operator.

[JScript] In JScript, you can use the operators defined by a type, but you cannot define your own.

Arguments [Visual Basic, JScript]

t1: A TimeSpan.
t2: A TimeSpan.

Parameters [C#, C++]

t1: A TimeSpan.
t2: A TimeSpan.

Return Value

true if the value of t1 is greater than the value of t2; otherwise, false.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following code example compares several TimeSpan objects to a reference TimeSpan using the GreaterThan operator.
