    Date Compare

    Hi! I am new to Visual Basic and i have a problem and new to the forum.
    The problem that i have right now is that i don't really know how to compare two dates.
    What i am actually trying to do is to compare the Date Today with vbSunday, vbMonday etc using if. But something goes wrong. As for an example:

    Code:
    If Date.Today.Day = vbSunday Then
{

}

    How can i solve it? Any ideas?

    */Sorry for my english/*

    Hi Blaze.

    If you want to do something based on the day of the week (according to the system) I'd suggest using Select Case rather than an If Statement. Something like:

    vb Code:
    1. Select Case Date.Today.DayOfWeek

    2.   Case DayOfWeek.Monday

    3.     'Code Here

    4.   Case DayOfWeek.Tuesday

    5.     'Code Here

    6. End Select

    Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

    Chris.
