DateTime Comparison Precision

Question

I\'m doing DateTime comparison but I don\'t want to do comparison at second, millisecond and ticks level. What\'s the most elegant way?

If I simply compare the DateT

Answer 1

I've written this to help myself:

    internal class ImpreciseCompareDate : IComparer
{
    private readonly double _Tolerance;

    public ImpreciseCompareDate(double MillisecondsTolerance)
    {
        _Tolerance = MillisecondsTolerance;
    }

    public int Compare(DateTime x, DateTime y)
    {
        return Math.Abs((x - y).TotalMilliseconds) < _Tolerance ? 0 : x.CompareTo(y);
    }
}

Tolerance can be set to (10d/3d) to account for SQL servers 1/300th of a ms. If tolerance is exceeded, delegate to default comparer.
