CompareTo

This method compares the current OracleIntervalDS instance to an object, and returns an integer that represents their relative values.

Declaration

// C#
public int CompareTo(object obj);

Parameters

Return Value

The method returns:

Less than zero: if the current OracleIntervalDS represents a shorter time interval than obj.
Zero: if the current OracleIntervalDS and obj represent the same time interval.
Greater than zero: if the current OracleIntervalDS represents a longer time interval than obj.

Implements

IComparable

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The obj parameter is not of type OracleIntervalDS.

Remarks

The following rules apply to the behavior of this method.

The comparison must be between OracleIntervalDSs. For example, comparing an OracleIntervalDS instance with an OracleBinary instance is not allowed. When an OracleIntervalDS is compared with a different type, an ArgumentException is thrown.
Any OracleIntervalDS that has a value compares greater than an OracleIntervalDS that has a null value.
Two OracleIntervalDSs that contain a null value are equal.
