public:
static bool Equals(
	DateTime t1,
	DateTime t2
)

Parameters

t1

true if the two values are equal; otherwise, false.

The following example demonstrates the Equals method.

System::DateTime today1 = System::DateTime(
   System::DateTime::Today.Ticks );
System::DateTime today2 = System::DateTime(
   System::DateTime::Today.Ticks );
System::DateTime tomorrow = System::DateTime(
   System::DateTime::Today.AddDays( 1 ).Ticks );

// todayEqualsToday gets true.
bool todayEqualsToday = System::DateTime::Equals( today1, today2 );

// todayEqualsTomorrow gets false.
bool todayEqualsTomorrow = System::DateTime::Equals( today1, tomorrow );
