0274 DateTime Comparison
<![CDATA[
When comparing two DateTime values, only their values are compared, their DateTimeKinds are ignored:
using System;
using System.Text;
class Sample
{
public static void Main()
{
DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1, 10, 20, 30, DateTimeKind.Local);
DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1, 10, 20, 30, DateTimeKind.Utc);
Console.WriteLine(dt1 == dt2); // True
DateTime local = DateTime.Now;
DateTime utc = local.ToUniversalTime();
Console.WriteLine(local == utc); // False
}
}
The output:
True
False
