time compare? should be simple

[Brian]

I have a datetimepicker formated for just time, the user selects the time.
I want to compare if that time is between midnight and 8 am
dtmTime #11:59:59 PM# and dtmTime < #08:00:00 AM#

this evaluates to true when the time is not greater than

dtmTime #9:32:34 PM#

Why is that? and How can I get this to work?

Brian,

Maybe it is more simple (at least for me, not somebody from an English
culture), to use New Datetime.

dim a (as DateTime for older versions) = new DateTime(now.Ye ar,now.Month,
Now,Day,8,0,0)

If a < Now then it is behind 8 o'clcok

not really sure what you mean there.. I have dtmTime defined as datetime
and when I do immed on it.. is
#11/5/2008 9:44:07 PM# but in my code posted previously... this was
evaluating to than midnight

Isn't everything than midnight?
Try comparing the TimeOfDay only (YourDateTimePi cker.Value.Time OfDay)

this is what i get using the timeofday....

Overload resolution failed because no accessible '>' can be called with
these arguments:

'Public Shared Operator >(t1 As Date, t2 As Date) As Boolean': Value of type
'System.TimeSpa n' cannot be converted to 'Date'.

Boolean': Value of type 'Date' cannot be converted to 'System.TimeSpa n'.

If dtmTime #11:59:59 PM# And dtmTime < #08:00# Then

I would like for that to be true if the dtmTime is between those times..
otherwise false... dtmTime is defined as DateTime

Hello, Brian,

I'm a bit confused about what you are trying to do.

Re: "...formate d for just time,"

As far as I know, the value returned by the DateTimePicker will include the
date even if the display is formatted to show only time. Perhaps your
problem is that you still need to truncate that date.

Re: "dtmTime #11:59:59 PM# and dtmTime < #08:00:00 AM#"

You say this evaluates to True. But I think that there are not many (by
that I mean any) times for which the above statement would evaluate to True.
Don't you just want the second half of that statement. I.e.: "dtmTime <
#08:00:00 AM#"

Cheers,
Randy

I thought you did want every time behind 8 0'clock today.

But It is simple from this code that it goes only for today

I had first
dim b = new DateTime(New DateTime(now.Ye ar,now.Month, Now,Day, 24,0,0)

dim a (as DateTime for older versions) = new DateTime(now.Ye ar,now.Month,
Now,Day,8,0,0)

If a < Now and also Now < B then it is between 8 and 24 o'clock

with these arguments:

'Public Shared Operator >(t1 As Date, t2 As Date) As Boolean': Value
of type 'System.TimeSpa n' cannot be converted to 'Date'.

'Public Shared Operator >(t1 As System.TimeSpan , t2 As
System.TimeSpan ) As Boolean': Value of type 'Date' cannot be
converted to 'System.TimeSpa n'.

If dtmTime #11:59:59 PM# And dtmTime < #08:00# Then

I would like for that to be true if the dtmTime is between those
times.. otherwise false... dtmTime is defined as DateTime

If dtmTime is a DateTime object, the last line should be compilable.
#11:59:59 PM# is actually 01/01/0001 11:59:59 PM and
#08:00# is actually 01/01/0001 08:00 AM

However, you want to compare times, not points in time. A TimeSpan object is
usually used to represent the time of a day, like the TimeOfDay property of
a DateTime object shows. It's the timespan from midnight until the time
given.

So, dtmTime should be a TimeSpan variable. Then the statement is:

If dtmTime New TimeSpan AndAlso dtmTime < New TimeSpan(8, 0, 0) Then

Instead of
dtmTime New TimeSpan
you can also use
dtmTime.Ticks 0
or
dtmTime New Timespan(0)
or
...
I don't know if midnight is to be included or excluded. It it's included,
the first expression is not required at all because ever time is equal to or
after midnight.

ok, i guess i am just not getting.. let me rephase what I am doing and you
tell me what is best to here
i have a function that accepts to varibles.. dtmdate as date, dtmTime as
date
Public Function GetShift(ByVal dtmDate As Date, ByVal dtmTime As DateTime)
As String

If dtmTime #11:59:59 PM# And dtmTime < ShiftEndTime Then

strShift = "N"

dtmDate.AddDays (-1)

End If

return getshift(dtmDat e, "N")

Now, if this function is ran between midnight and 8 am then I subtract 1 day
to get the team that started its night shift the previous day.
Not sure i am having a hard time understanding.. maybe i need a
vacation...lol
