Precedes(TdPeriodTimestamp) Method

Indicates whether this instance precedes the period value.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function Precedes( _
   ByVal value As TdPeriodTimestamp _
) As Boolean

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

public bool Precedes( 
   TdPeriodTimestamp value
)

public:
bool Precedes( 
   TdPeriodTimestamp value
)

Parameters

value: The TdPeriodTimestamp operand.

Return Value

A true is returned when this instance precedes the value, otherwise a false is returned.

Remarks

A false will be returned if value is TdPeriodTimestamp.Null.

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

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

Example	Comments
\|-----------\|-----------\| bL eL bR eR	Precedes = true
\|-------\|------\|--------\| bL eL bR eR	Precedes = true
\|-------\|-------\|--------\| bL bR eL eR	Precedes = false There is an intersection between the operands; therfore, the left does not precede the right.
\|-------\|--------\| bR eR bL eL	Precedes = false The left operand appears after the right operand.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2
