Question

Goal – find out which DateTime is more recent.

Can I figure this out with this code:

DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(...); //let's say it was created on 1/1/2000

DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(...); //let's say it was create on 1/1/2011 

if (dt2.ToBinary() > dt1.ToBinary()) {
print dt2 is newer than dt1 }

Can I simply convert the DateTime objects to binary, then presume that the larger one is more recent?

Thanks,
Kevin

Answer 1

if (dt2 > dt1) {
print dt2 is newer than dt1 }

should be enough as DateTime overloads the comparison operators.
