Public Overloads Function Precedes( _

) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TdPeriodTimestampWithTimeZone
Dim value As TdPeriodTimestampWithTimeZone
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Precedes(value)

public bool Precedes(

)

public:
bool Precedes( 
   TdPeriodTimestampWithTimeZone value
) 

Parameters

value

The TdPeriodTimestampWithTimeZone operand.

Return Value

A false will be returned if the value is TdPeriodTimestampWithTimeZone.Null.

This instance will precede the value if the ending bound of the this instance is less than or equal to the starting bound of the value.

It is not required that the UTC Offset of this instance and value be the same. The UTC representation of the bounds will be used to determine whether this instance precedes the value.

In the following examples consider the Left operand to be this instance, and the Right as the value. The Left and Right operands are defined as (bL, eL) and (bR, eR), respectively.

            |--------|--------|
            bL     eL bR      eR
            

            |------|----|------|
            bL     eL   bR     eR
            

            |-----|-------|------|
            bL    bR      eL     eR
            

            |-------|--------|
            bR    eR bL      eL
