comparing the retrieved date with the entering date

[srivalli]

hello,

i am retrieving some date in a textbox1, with the help of datetimepicker1.
In my form i have one more textbox2 and datetimepicker2.

now my query is

after retrieving the date in TB1 from the back end,i want to select some date in TB2 which is always greater than the retrieved date.

Is it possible to compare the dates .

 

[kulrom]

myVar = system.DateTime.Compare(date1, date2)

method will return integer which is -1 if date1 is less than date2, 0 if both dates are equal and 1 if date1 is bigger than date2

cheers

I don't understand why you are using TextBoxes at all if you have DateTimePickers. DateTimePickers have a Value property if you want a DateTime object and a Text property if you want the displayed string. What purpose do the TextBoxes serve?

I'm pretty sure that if he explains the "proper" way his problem we could help but in this case i don't think so ... btw, he is stuck couple weeks with this probably very simple issue (has started many threads about certain subject)

here i am selecting textbox to store a date using datetimepicker because, i want to store this date in the back end and also i can select any date in the picker.
i know only one option to store the date in any control. if there is any other option then let me know.

Can you calm down and explain in very short sentences what you do and what the problem is?

The DateTimePicker has MinDate and MaxDate properties to limit input. Also it can be data bound or you can use the Value or Text properties to transfer your date value to and from a DataTable or SQL statement.
