Definition

Compares this date-time to another date-time, including the chronology.

[Android.Runtime.Register("compareTo", "(Ljava/time/chrono/ChronoLocalDateTime;)I", "GetCompareTo_Ljava_time_chrono_ChronoLocalDateTime_Handler:Java.Time.Chrono.IChronoLocalDateTime, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", ApiSince=26)]
public virtual int CompareTo (Java.Time.Chrono.IChronoLocalDateTime? other);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("compareTo", "(Ljava/time/chrono/ChronoLocalDateTime;)I", "GetCompareTo_Ljava_time_chrono_ChronoLocalDateTime_Handler:Java.Time.Chrono.IChronoLocalDateTime, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", ApiSince=26)>]
abstract member CompareTo : Java.Time.Chrono.IChronoLocalDateTime -> int
override this.CompareTo : Java.Time.Chrono.IChronoLocalDateTime -> int

Parameters

other
IChronoLocalDateTime

the other date-time to compare to, not null

Returns

the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater

Attributes

Remarks

Compares this date-time to another date-time, including the chronology.

The comparison is based first on the underlying time-line date-time, then on the chronology. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable.

For example, the following is the comparator order: <ol> <li>2012-12-03T12:00 (ISO)</li> <li>2012-12-04T12:00 (ISO)</li> <li>2555-12-04T12:00 (ThaiBuddhist)</li> <li>2012-12-05T12:00 (ISO)</li> </ol> Values #2 and #3 represent the same date-time on the time-line. When two values represent the same date-time, the chronology ID is compared to distinguish them. This step is needed to make the ordering "consistent with equals".

If all the date-time objects being compared are in the same chronology, then the additional chronology stage is not required and only the local date-time is used.

This default implementation performs the comparison defined above.
