algorithm help

[Techno]

I am just not the usual me today and it sucks!!!

I need some help.

We have an object. it has a datetime property.

What I want to do is to execute a certain condition IF TRUE.

condition:

if the object datetime hour == current hour (but should fail if the minute given as input is < current minute) or the hour given is > current hour and minute input can be of any value as long as the hour given is > current hour.


does that makes sense? lol

how can I make that into a conditional IF statement?

actually I think I got it after re-reading this thread LOL

but still I would like your suggestions!

Correct me if I'm wrong but basically you want to test whether the time portion of a DateTime object is later than the current time of day, yes? If so you can use the fact that TimeSpan objects support the standard comparison operators.

TimeSpan inputTime = inputDate.TimeOfDay;
TimeSpan currentTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

if (inputTime > currentTime)
    MessageBox.Show("The selected time is after the current time.");
else if (inputTime < currentTime)
    MessageBox.Show("The selected time is before the current time.");
else
    MessageBox.Show("The selected time is the current time.");

well that is partially correct but I want to make sure that it does not "clash" with another time object but I have it sorted now
