Members| All Members | Methods | Properties | |||
| Icon | Member | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Compare(ZonedDateTime, ZonedDateTime) | Compares two objects and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other. |
  | Instant |
Returns a comparer which compares ZonedDateTime values by the instants obtained by applying the offset to
the local date/time, ignoring the calendar system.
|
| Local |
Returns a comparer which compares ZonedDateTime values by their local date/time, without reference to
the time zone, offset or the calendar system.

RemarksUse the static properties of this class to obtain instances.
For the curious: this class only exists so that in the future, it can expose more functionality - probably implementing IEqualityComparer<(Of <(<'T>)>)>. If we simply provided properties on ZonedDateTime of type IComparer<(Of <(<'T>)>)> we'd have no backward-compatible way of adding to the set of implemented interfaces.
