This method compares the current OracleTimeStamp
instance to an object, and returns an integer that represents their relative values.
Declaration
// C#
public int CompareTo(object obj);
Parameters
obj
The object being compared to the current OracleTimeStamp
instance.
Return Value
The method returns a number that is:
Less than zero: if the current OracleTimeStamp
instance value is less than that of obj
.
Zero: if the current OracleTimeStamp
instance and obj
values are equal.
Greater than zero: if the current OracleTimeStamp
instance value is greater than that of obj
.
Implements
IComparable
Exceptions
ArgumentException
- The obj
parameter is not of type OracleTimeStamp
.
Remarks
The following rules apply to the behavior of this method.
The comparison must be between OracleTimeStamp
s. For example, comparing an OracleTimeStamp
instance with an OracleBinary
instance is not allowed. When an OracleTimeStamp
is compared with a different type, an ArgumentException
is thrown.
Any OracleTimeStamp
that has a value is greater than an OracleTimeStamp
that has a null value.
Two OracleTimeStamp
s that contain a null value are equal.
