Date comparison result
<p>Why does the code below result in a (-1)? </p>

<p>When the startDate is set to <em>7/9/12 5:00:00 AM</em> the compareValue returns 1. I would expect a positive 1 in the scenario below but getting a (-1). </p>

<pre><code>startDate = "7/16/2012 5:00:00 AM"
endDate = "7/17/2012 5:00:00 AM"

//enter code here
int compareValue =  startDate.CompareTo(endDate);
</code></pre>
