Remarks

The SPContentTypeId structure implements the IComparable interface. This method implements the < operator. To call the method, use the operator with two SPContentTypeId objects, as shown in the following example.

SPContentTypeId x = SPBuiltInContentTypeId.BasicPage;
SPContentTypeId y = SPBuiltInContentTypeId.Document;
Console.WriteLine(x < y); // False

Dim x As SPContentTypeId = SPBuiltInContentTypeId.BasicPage
Dim y As SPContentTypeId = SPBuiltInContentTypeId.Document
Console.WriteLine(x < y) ' False
