The following code example demonstrates Compare.
DateTime t1( 100 ); DateTime t2( 20 ); if ( DateTime::Compare( t1, t2 ) > 0 ) Console::WriteLine( "t1 > t2" ); if ( DateTime::Compare( t1, t2 ) == 0 ) Console::WriteLine( "t1 == t2" ); if ( DateTime::Compare( t1, t2 ) < 0 ) Console::WriteLine( "t1 < t2" );
DateTime t1 = new DateTime(100);
DateTime t2 = new DateTime(20);
if (DateTime.Compare(t1, t2) > 0) {
Console.WriteLine("t1 > t2");
}
if (DateTime.Compare(t1, t2) == 0) {
Console.WriteLine("t1 == t2");
}
if (DateTime.Compare(t1, t2) < 0) {
Console.WriteLine("t1 < t2");
}
var t1 : DateTime = new DateTime(100); var t2 : DateTime = new DateTime(20); if (DateTime.Compare(t1, t2) > 0) Console.WriteLine("t1 > t2"); if (DateTime.Compare(t1, t2) == 0) Console.WriteLine("t1 == t2"); if (DateTime.Compare(t1, t2) < 0) Console.WriteLine("t1 < t2");
