Date/time comparison

[entropy]

Hi,

I'd like to learn how to compare an arbitrarily defined date and time with the output from DateTime.

I understand this bit:

DateTime mydatetime = Time[0];
mydatetime.Date mydatetime.Minute, etc.
When I Print this value I get "2/25/2011 12:00:00 AM" for example, cool.

Now, are DateTimes strings? How do I store and express my arbitrary date time? for example I'd like to enter 1/1/2000 12:00:00 AM and compare it to Time[0] to see if the current time is past 1/1/2000 or before it.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

This is more of a c# programming concept. Would suggest you check into this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx

http://www.dotnetperls.com/datetime-1

To get these I googled c# DateTime.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks Brett,
Had already been there--have been working with c# for about 3 days

Anyhow taking a second look I found what I needed to find:

DateTime test = new DateTime(2011,2,1,7,47,0);

So thanks!

Excellent, no problem. If you run into anything specific you need help on don't hesitate to let me know. Even if its c# related I might be able to head you in right direction or provide a specific example that might help and would be happy to do it.

Have a great rest of the day.
