DateTimeOffset.GreaterThan Operator

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Determines whether one specified DateTimeOffset object is greater than (or later than) a second specified DateTimeOffset object.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Operator > ( _
    left As DateTimeOffset, _
    right As DateTimeOffset _
) As Boolean

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

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the UtcDateTime value of left is later than the UtcDateTime value of right; otherwise, false.

Remarks

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

Dim date1 As New DateTimeOffset(#6/3/2007 2:45:00 PM#, _
             New TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0))
Dim date2 As New DateTimeOffset(#6/3/2007 3:45:00 PM#, _
             New TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0))
Dim date3 As New DateTimeOffset(date1.DateTime, _
             New TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0))
outputBlock.Text &= (date1 > date2) & vbCrLf        ' Displays False
outputBlock.Text &= (date1 > date3) & vbCrLf        ' Displays True

DateTimeOffset date1 = new DateTimeOffset(2007, 6, 3, 14, 45, 0,
             new TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0));
DateTimeOffset date2 = new DateTimeOffset(2007, 6, 3, 15, 45, 0,
             new TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0));
DateTimeOffset date3 = new DateTimeOffset(date1.DateTime,
             new TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0));
outputBlock.Text += (date1 > date2) + "\n";        // Displays False
outputBlock.Text += (date1 > date3) + "\n";        // Displays True

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Compare method instead. They can also call the GreaterThan method directly, as the following example shows.

Dim date1 As New DateTimeOffset(#6/3/2007 2:45:00 PM#, _
             New TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0))
Dim date2 As New DateTimeOffset(#6/3/2007 3:45:00 PM#, _
             New TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0))
Dim date3 As New DateTimeOffset(date1.DateTime, _
             New TimeSpan(-6, 0, 0))
outputBlock.Text += DateTimeOffset.op_GreaterThan(date1, date2) & vbCrLf  ' Displays False
outputBlock.Text += DateTimeOffset.op_GreaterThan(date1, date3) & vbCrLf  ' Displays True

Before evaluating the left and right operands, the operator converts both values to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The operation is equivalent to the following:

Return left.UtcDateTime > right.UtcDateTime

return left.UtcDateTime > right.UtcDateTime;
