TimeSpan::Compare Method
Visual Studio 2010
Compares two TimeSpan values and returns an integer that indicates whether the first value is shorter than, equal to, or longer than the second value.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- t1
- Type: System::TimeSpan
The first time interval to compare.
- t2
- Type: System::TimeSpan
The second time interval to compare.
Return Value
Type: System::Int32One of the following values.
Value | Description |
|---|---|
-1 | t1 is shorter than t2. |
0 | t1 is equal to t2. |
1 | t1 is longer than t2. |
The following example compares several TimeSpan objects to a reference TimeSpan by using the Compare method.
