DateTimeOffset::GreaterThanOrEqual Operator (DateTimeOffset, DateTimeOffset)
Determines whether one specified DateTimeOffset object is greater than or equal to a second specified DateTimeOffset object.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- left
-
Type:
System::DateTimeOffset
The first object to compare.
- right
-
Type:
System::DateTimeOffset
The second object to compare.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the UtcDateTime value of left is the same as or later than the UtcDateTime value of right; otherwise, false.
The GreaterThan method defines the operation of the greater than or equal to operator for DateTimeOffset objects. It enables code such as the following:
Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Compare method instead. Some languages can also call the GreaterThanOrEqual method directly, as the following example shows.
Dim date1 As New DateTimeOffset(#6/3/2007 2:45PM#, _ New TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0)) Dim date2 As New DateTimeOffset(#6/3/2007 3:45PM#, _ New TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0)) Dim date3 As New DateTimeOffset(date1.DateTime, _ New TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0)) Dim date4 As DateTimeOffset = date1 Console.WriteLine( _ DateTimeOffset.op_GreaterThanOrEqual(date1, date2)) ' Displays False Console.WriteLine( _ DateTimeOffset.op_GreaterThanOrEqual(date1, date3)) ' Displays True Console.WriteLine( _ DateTimeOffset.op_GreaterThanOrEqual(date1, date4)) ' Displays True
Before evaluating the left and right operands, the operator converts both values to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The operation is equivalent to the following:
