CompareTo

This method compares the current OracleDate 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 OracleDate instance value is less than that of obj.
Zero: if the current OracleDate instance and obj values are equal.
Greater than zero: if the current OracleDate instance value is greater than obj.

Implements

IComparable

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The obj parameter is not an instance of OracleDate.

Remarks

The following rules apply to the behavior of this method.

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