TimeSpan.CompareTo Método

Definição

Compara esta instância a um objeto especificado ou ao objeto TimeSpan e retorna um inteiro que indica se esta instância é menor, igual ou maior que o objeto especificado ou o objeto TimeSpan.

Sobrecargas

CompareTo(Object)

Compara esta instância a um objeto especificado e retorna um inteiro que indica se essa instância é mais curta, igual ou mais longa que o objeto especificado.

CompareTo(TimeSpan)

Compara esta instância com um objeto TimeSpan especificado e retorna um inteiro que indica se esta instância é menor que, igual a ou maior que o objeto TimeSpan.

Comentários

As duas sobrecargas do CompareTo método retornam um número assinado que indica o valor relativo dessa instância e o value argumento , conforme mostrado na tabela a seguir.

Valor Descrição
Menor que zero Esta instância é menor do que value.
Zero Essa instância é igual a value.
Maior que zero Esta instância é maior que value.

Comentários

Esse método implementa a System.IComparable<T> interface e executa um pouco melhor do que o TimeSpan.CompareTo método porque não precisa converter o value parâmetro em um objeto .

Aplica-se a
