CompareTo(TdPeriodTimestamp) Method

Compares this instance to the specified TdPeriodTimestamp .

Syntax

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function CompareTo( _
   ByVal other As TdPeriodTimestamp _
) As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TdPeriodTimestamp
Dim other As TdPeriodTimestamp
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.CompareTo(other)

public int CompareTo( 
   TdPeriodTimestamp other
)

public:
int CompareTo( 
   TdPeriodTimestamp other
)

The result of the comparison is returned as an integer.

Remarks

The integer returned when this instance is compared to other indicates the following:

Return Value	Meaning
Less than zero	This instance is less than other. -or- This instance is TdPeriodTimestamp.Null. Comparison Algorithm this.Begin < other.Begin OR (this.Begin == other.Begin AND this.End < other.End)
Zero	This instance is equal to other. -or- This instance and other are Null. Comparison Algorithm this.Begin == other.Begin AND this.End == other.End
Greater than zero	This instance is greater than other. -or- other is Null. Comparison Algorithm this.Begin > other.Begin OR (this.Begin == other.Begin AND this.End > other.End)
