Compare Time in text

[TaNz]

How do I compare Timings like "06:00 AM is earlier than 05:30 AM"??:confused:

[Lethal]

Here is one way:


using System;

public class TimeExample
{
public static void Main()
{
DateTime tOne = DateTime.Now;
DateTime tTwo = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2);

if (tOne > tTwo)
{
Console.WriteLine("tOne is greater than tTwo");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("tTwo is greater than tOne");
}

}
}

Or..


using System;

public class TimeExample
{
public static void Main()
{
DateTime tOne = DateTime.Now;
DateTime tTwo = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2);

switch (tOne.CompareTo(tTwo))
{
case -1:
Console.WriteLine("tOne is less than tTwo");
break;
case 0:
Console.WriteLine("tOne is equal to tTwo");
break;
case 1:
Console.WriteLine("tOne is greater than tTwo");
break;
}

}
}

Oops forgot the attachment. :rolleyes: I hate when I do that...

[Lethal]

lol.....well, if you weren't so fat and furry you might have beet me 2 it...;)

[Fat_N_Furry]

LOL actually, I'm really not Fat_N_Furry. My cat is. He weighs 20 pounds, for crying out loud! I'm Skinny_N_Hairless. LOL

I think my example's better, though. :p

[Lethal]

He stated that he wants to compare times. All you're example does is perform arithmetic operations. ;) Big difference...

[Fat_N_Furry]

But that IS coparing times, isn't it? It's comparing the current time to the entered time! :o

...For some reason that embarrassed smiley doesn't really look all that embarrased to me...

[Lethal]

For one, your example doesn't take into consideration AM or PM.

[Fat_N_Furry]

Does yours? I apologize for my ignorance, but I don't really quite understand your code... :confused:

[Lethal]

Yes, b/c we are using DateTime objects, not just integers. These are two seperate datatypes. They are optimized to work with real date and time data.

[Fat_N_Furry]

Oh. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. :)

Maybe the VB.NEt version would help:


Dim tOne As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim tTwo As DateTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2)

Select Case tOne.CompareTo(tTwo)
Case -1
MsgBox("tOne is less than tTwo")
Case 0
MsgBox("tOne is equal to tTwo")
Case 1
MsgBox("tOne is greater than tTwo")
End Select

[Lethal]

That's my fault. I keep forgetting I'm posting C# code instead of vb.net.

Its my personal opinion that everyone should at know how to translate back and forth (C# <-> V.NET) so maybe that will encourage people. Of course I guess I messed it up then, but hey. ;)
