The less than relation operator (<) compares its operands to determine which one is less than the other.

Namespace: OSIsoft.AF.Modeling
Assembly: OSIsoft.AFSDK (in OSIsoft.AFSDK.dll) Version: 3.1.1.1182

Syntax

public static bool operator <(
	AFConnection lhs,
	AFConnection rhs
)

Public Shared Operator < ( 
	lhs As AFConnection,
	rhs As AFConnection
) As Boolean

Dim lhs As AFConnection
Dim rhs As AFConnection
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = (lhs < rhs)

public:
static bool operator <(
	AFConnection^ lhs, 
	AFConnection^ rhs
)

static let inline (<)
        lhs : AFConnection * 
        rhs : AFConnection  : bool

Parameters

lhs: Type: OSIsoft.AF.ModelingAFConnection
Left hand operator.
rhs: Type: OSIsoft.AF.ModelingAFConnection
Right hand operator.

Return Value

Type: Boolean

Remarks

By definition, any object compares greater than and two null references compare equal to each other.

This method first compares the value of the ToString method of each connection.
