DateTimeOffset.CompareTo() Method in C#
The DateTimeOffset.CompareTo() method in C# is used to compares the current DateTimeOffset object to a specified DateTimeOffset object and indicates whether the current object is earlier than, the same as, or later than the second DateTimeOffset object.
It returns an integer value,
- <0 − If this object is earlier than Val
- 0 − If this object is the same as Val
- >0 − If this object is later than Val
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
public int CompareTo (DateTimeOffset val);
Above, Val is the object to compare.
Example
Let us now see an example to implement the DateTimeOffset.CompareTo() method −
using System; public class Demo { public static void Main() { DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset1 = new DateTimeOffset(2019, 09, 09, 8, 20, 10, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset2 = new DateTimeOffset(2019, 09, 09, 8, 20, 10, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); Console.WriteLine("DateTimeOffset1 = {0}", dateTimeOffset1); Console.WriteLine("DateTimeOffset2 = {0}", dateTimeOffset2); int res = dateTimeOffset1.CompareTo(dateTimeOffset2); // returns equal to 0 since offset1 is equal to offset2 Console.WriteLine(res); } }
Output
This will produce the following output −
DateTimeOffset1 = 9/9/2019 8:20:10 AM -05:00 DateTimeOffset2 = 9/9/2019 8:20:10 AM -05:00 0
Example
Let us now see another example to implement the DateTimeOffset.CompareTo() method −
using System; public class Demo { public static void Main() { DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset1 = new DateTimeOffset(2019, 11, 09, 8, 20, 10, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset2 = new DateTimeOffset(2019, 09, 09, 8, 20, 10, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); Console.WriteLine("DateTimeOffset1 = {0}", dateTimeOffset1); Console.WriteLine("DateTimeOffset2 = {0}", dateTimeOffset2); int res = dateTimeOffset1.CompareTo(dateTimeOffset2); // returns >0 since DateTimeOffset1 is later than DateTimeOffset2 Console.WriteLine(res); } }
Output
This will produce the following output −
DateTimeOffset1 = 11/9/2019 8:20:10 AM -05:00 DateTimeOffset2 = 9/9/2019 8:20:10 AM -05:00 1
