try this -
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
-
List<DateTime> allDates = new List<DateTime>();
-
allDates.Add(now);
-
allDates.Add(now.Subtract(new TimeSpan(0,0,20,20,0)));
-
-
allDates.Sort();

This would be a good example of not planning ahead. You coded, before you planned. Two words: "Software engineer" - meaning to engineer the software. A person wouldn't build a building by nailing together a bunch of wood, then two days in start thinking about how they are going to accommodate a door and window. Same in this field.
Enough with the scolding...
Based on your question I'm guessing you did exactly what you said: You added dates as text into a label. Now you are stuck because you don't have any dates to work with, only text. It is possible to convert text back into DateTime (do some reading about TryParse), but it would be better to re-engineer what your application is doing.
Tip 1: Never throw something away until you are sure you are done with it.
Tip 2: Remember to keep your data, and your user interface seperate in your mind.
In this case, as you take in dates from your Calendar control be sure to add them to a List<> or Array of DateType objects just as DeepBlue has indicated. This is the data you will actually use. If you also want to add them to a text box, list control, label or some other UI for your user that's cool too, but the UI is just for the user and not for your program to think with.
Now that you have a list/array of DateTime objects you can work through them for whatever purpose you want. Use a 'for' loop to check each item in the list/array. Is it a Sunday date? Is it after 2 pm? Is it before or after your target date? and so on.

extremely good "expert" advice tlhintoq... thanks a lot ...
pchaitanya, do remember as tlhintoq pointed out "the UI is just for the user and not for your program to think with ".. it will be better to keep selected dates as date in some list for further processing ....

The user can dynamically enter and change the rule connection between
objects. The rule is a "<" and so given two objects:
a < b simply means that b < a can't be set, also it must be a != b.
And with three objects a < b , b < c means a < c
I studied Quick Union Find algorithms a bit and if I understood them
correctly, once the user gives the input setting the rules/connection
between objects, the algorithm will give as output the result...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...
