Hi everyone,
I need to be able to compare to dates to ensure that one is at least 1 day
greater than the other.
Im trying to do
if(toDate !> fromDate){
// handle
}
This works but the problem is its comparing the datetime down to the minute
and second. I need to be accurate only to the date. Otherwise, a comparison
for two datetimes that are within the same date, but of different times will
give a false positive.
Can anyone tell me how to ensure that one datetime is at least one day greater
than the other?
Many thanks
Simon 6 2270
Hello, Simon!
one way
DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Now;
dt2 = dt2.AddDays(2);
TimeSpan span = dt2 - dt1;
if ( span.Days > 1 )
else
another one
or you can use DateTime.DayOfWeek or Day, or DayOfYear dependin on the scope of dates being compared

Maybe ?
TimeSpan oneDay = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0);
if (toDate >= fromDate + oneDay)
{
// Code here
}

Unless I've misunderstood something, I believe the original purpose was
to compare the dates - so "just before midnight" should count as a
different date to "just after midnight", even though it wouldn't go
inside your "if" statement.

Jon,
Yep, I wasn't exactly sure what he was asking specifically. Is a "1
day" difference 24 hrs or the day's label, like Feb 12 or Feb 13 :). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
