Draw Line thru tomorrow

[GeoOrtiz]

Hi All,

How do I draw a line that starts today say at 9 pm and goes thru to tomorrow 8 am?

My draw line statement is as follows:

DrawLine(HighLine.ToString(), false, StartTime, HH, EndTime, HH, Color.Green, DashStyle.Solid, 2);

Where StartTime & EndTime are:

StartTime = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 21, 00, 0);
EndTime = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 8, 00, 0);

It works just fine when I want it to draw lines from say 8 am to 11 am. But from the night session thru the day session, it draws the line from 8 am of the current day to 9 pm of the current day as oppose to from 9 pm of current day to 8 am of the following day.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Hello GeoOrtiz,

I believe the problem is that you are using the same day for start and end times. I believe changing this line

EndTime = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].[B]Day[/B], 8, 00, 0);

to this

EndTime = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].[B]Day + 1[/B], 8, 00, 0);

will allow you to see the problem straight away. I recommend comparing StartTime to EndTime, and adding 1 to EndTime if it is before StartTime.

If you provide a complete code sample, I will be able to assist further.
