TimeSpan.CompareTo Método

Definición

Compara esta instancia con un objeto especificado o con el objeto TimeSpan y devuelve un entero que indica si la instancia es más corta, igual o más larga que el objeto especificado o el objeto TimeSpan.

Sobrecargas

CompareTo(Object)

Compara esta instancia con un objeto especificado y devuelve un entero que indica si la instancia es más corta, igual o más larga que el objeto especificado.

CompareTo(TimeSpan)

Compara esta instancia con un objeto TimeSpan especificado y devuelve un entero que indica si la instancia es más corta, igual o más larga que el objeto TimeSpan.

Comentarios

Las dos sobrecargas del CompareTo método devuelven un número firmado que indica el valor relativo de esta instancia y el value argumento, como se muestra en la tabla siguiente.

Valor Descripción
Menor que cero Esta instancia es menor que value.
Cero Esta instancia es la misma que value.
Mayor que cero Esta instancia es mayor que value.

Comentarios

Cualquier instancia de TimeSpan, independientemente de su valor, se considera mayor que null.

El value parámetro debe ser una instancia de TimeSpan o null; de lo contrario, se produce una excepción.

Este método implementa la System.IComparable<T> interfaz y funciona ligeramente mejor que el TimeSpan.CompareTo método porque no tiene que convertir el value parámetro en un objeto .

Se aplica a
