Compare Time in text

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

Here is one way:

Code:

---

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..

Code:

---

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;
                }

        }
}

Dang! You beat me to it you weenie! :D I'll post this example anyway.


Furry

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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.

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

Maybe the VB.NEt version would help:

VB Code:

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

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. ;)
