TimeSpan.Compare Method
.NET Framework 2.0
Compares two TimeSpan values and returns an integer that indicates their relationship.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public static int Compare ( TimeSpan t1, TimeSpan t2 )
public static function Compare ( t1 : TimeSpan, t2 : TimeSpan ) : int
Parameters
- t1
A TimeSpan.
- t2
A TimeSpan.
Return Value
| Value | Condition |
|---|---|
| -1 | t1 is less than t2 |
| 0 | t1 is equal to t2 |
| 1 | t1 is greater than t2 |
