Comparing dates

I'm trying to see if the difference between a date in a table, entryDate and the current date, todaysDate, is greater than 28 days..

Is there a simple solution?

If you are using VB.NET yo ucan use the DateDiff() Function.

Dim strDifference As String = DateDiff(Date1, Date2).ToString + " Day(s)"

Hello,
I have used the following, [C#]

defined EndTime and StartTime as datetimes...
TimeSpan interval = EndTime.Subtract(StartTime);

then do,

interval.TotalDays which will return days...which you can then compare with 28

Hope this helps....
