datetime compare

Hello,

I was wondering what the easiest way is to compare two DateTime objects and
not have the time components be included in the comparision.

For, example, if time1 = 10/01/07 9:00 am, and time2 = 10/1/07 10:00 am,
time1.CompareTo (time2) == 0 should evaluate to true.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I would just compare the .Date properties:

DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2007, 10, 1, 10, 0, 0);
DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(2007, 10, 1, 9, 0, 0);
TimeSpan ts = dt1.Date - dt2.Date;
bool sameDate = (ts == TimeSpan.Zero);

Chris,

You would use time1.Date.Comp areTo(time2.Dat e) == 0

It appears that you can't compare two dates in DotNet. You must use ToString and compare the strings. Is that the only reliable way? Try this: Dim dteOne As Date = FileDateTime(Application.ExecutablePath) Dim dteTwo As Date = FileDateTime(Application.ExecutablePath) SaveSetting("Test", "Dates", "DateThree", FileDateTime(Application.ExecutablePath)) Dim dteThree As Date = CDate(GetSetting("Test", "Dates",

I need to compare two DateTime variables named as t1 and t2 using VB.NET 2003. If t1 is any earlier time as t2, only then program should do something like... If (t1 < t2) Then 'DoSomethingHere... End If But I don't figue out how comparing DateTimes is working.

Hi, In my application I need to compare whether one time is greater than another. What I am doing right now is taking the current datetime, formatting as string without the time element, and then appending the time I want to the date and converting to date. DateTime dOpen = System.Convert.ToDateTime(now.Date.ToString("MMM dd, yyyy") + " " + storeOpen.Hour + ":" + storeOpen.Minute);

I'd like to compare two datetime values in milliseconds. The datetime.compare method appears to show only seconds. Milliseconds of a datetime are available as a property of each datetime, but I am assuming there is an easier way than comparing the milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc, individually to generate the difference. Thanks in advance. Mark

Hopefully a simple DateTime problem. I've got a windows service created in C# on .Net Framework 2.0, the service uses a system timer to fire an event every second and compare that against a known time to fire off a worker thread. All the DateTime objects are using local time as the services are local to the server. DateTime runAt = DateTime.Parse("4/24/2007 2:30:00 PM"); System.Timers.Timer _timer = new System.Timers.Timer();

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
