ReturnsA signed number indicating the relative values of this instance and value.
value, or this instance is not a number (NaN) and value is a number. Zero This instance is equal to value, or both this instance and value are not a number (NaN), PositiveInfinity, or NegativeInfinity. Greater than zero This instance is greater than value, or this instance is a number and value is not a number (NaN). Implements Examples
The following code example demonstrates generic and nongeneric versions of the CompareTo method for several value and reference types.
