Description

Syntax

DateTimeOffset.LessThan has the following syntax.

public static bool operator <(
  DateTimeOffset left,
  DateTimeOffset right
)

Parameters

DateTimeOffset.LessThan has the following parameters.

• left - The first object to compare.
• right - The second object to compare.

Returns

DateTimeOffset.LessThan method returns true if the UtcDateTime value of left is earlier than the UtcDateTime value of right; otherwise, false.

Example

The LessThan method defines the operation of the less than operator for DateTimeOffset objects. It enables code such as the following:

/* w ww .java 2s . com*/
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    DateTimeOffset date1 = new DateTimeOffset(2014, 6, 3, 14, 45, 0, 
                 new TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0));
    DateTimeOffset date2 = new DateTimeOffset(2014, 6, 3, 15, 45, 0,
                 new TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0));
    DateTimeOffset date3 = new DateTimeOffset(date1.DateTime, 
                 new TimeSpan(-8, 0, 0));
    Console.WriteLine(date1 < date2);        // Displays False
    Console.WriteLine(date1 < date3);        // Displays True

  }
}
    

The code above generates the following result.
