Hi,

How to do a time comparison?

You should look for:
DateTime.Compare(...)
DateTime.CompareTo(...)

eventually:
DateTime.Subtract(...)

Hi,

Suppose I want my program to do something at 1pm everyday, how do I do the
comparison?

Thanks.

mc,

You don't use a DateTime to do it. This is a task for Scheduled Tasks.
You would write your program so that it performs the action once, and then
set up the Scheduled Tasks to run your program at 1 PM every day.

There is no need to run a program or a service which does nothing except
at a certain time to perform tasks.

mc,
As Nicholas suggests, this sounds like a scheduled task.

When I want to compare "times" without the date part I normally use
TimeSpan.Compare:

Something like:

TimeSpan now = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

TimeSpan onePM = TimeSpan.FromHours(13);

if (TimeSpan.Compare(now, onePM) < 0)
DoSomething();

I created a TimeRange object (in VB.NET) that is a little more flexibly then
the above sample. For details see:

Hope this helps
