Hi there,

I have a solution to your problem because i am having the same query in last week. And after doing much effort i got it from some forum so i am giving you the same.

For comparing the DateTime Object you have to use <,>, == operators or another method is to call the "DateTime.Compare()" method. And if you want the DateTime Objects duration then you have to subtract the DateTime Object directly so that you will get a TimeSpan Object which will represent the time duration of the DateTime Object

Thank You

Hi Dude,

Comparing of DateTime Object is very easy, all you have to do is to use some of the operator or the methods to take effect. It can also tell you about the time duration but that is not our discussion part so let come to the simple example about the same

DateTime d1="Enter first Date";

DateTime d2="Enter some other Date";

if(d1>d2)

This is the basic syntax use it with your codes to take effect.

Hey,

Even i have something too that i am sharing with you which will compare the two DateTime Object using switch method

DateTime original = new DateTime(2009,11,11);
DateTime compareDateTime = new DateTime(original.Year -1 , original.Month, original.Day);
switch (original.CompareTo(compareDateTime))
{
case 0 :
  Console.WriteLine("Greater");
  break;
case 1:
  Console.WriteLine("Equal");
  break;
case 2:
  Console.WriteLine("Lesser");
  break;
  }
}
