Comparing Dates to see if more then 14 days have passed [C#]

[Shaitan00]

Given the following code:

bool LogsDate (string sLogsDate)

{

	DateTime dtNow = DateTime.Now;

	DateTime dtLogsDate = DateTime.Parse(sLogsDate);



	// Do the comapring of dtNow and dtLogsDate and return FALSE if they differ by more then 14 days, return true otherwise        

}

[/Code]

 

So my problem is really simple (as stated in the snipplet of code above) - I need to compare dtNow and dtLogsDate to determine if more or less then X (x=14) days have passed so I can return true or false as required.

Any help/hints would be appreciated - thanks,

bool LogsDate (string sLogsDate)

{

	DateTime dtNow = DateTime.Now;

	DateTime dtLogsDate = DateTime.Parse(sLogsDate);



	[b]TimeSpan datediff = dtNow-dLogsDate;

	return (datediff.Days>14);[/b]

}

[/Code]

Your function is badly named and your description of the problem is a little poor. What do you want to know exactly? now>log? now>=log? now<=log? Clarity would help here. The principle you were missing is that the difference between any two DateTime's is a TimeSpan, you can use all sorts of things like Days Minutes Hours from on TimeSpan instances. The documentation is the place to look for this detail.

Guess your right....

SUBJECT = Determine if 14 days have passed between NOW and the sLogsDate value.

Function Name: HasTimeElapsed(string sLogsDate)

 

And I want to compare DAYS....

Now, I see what you mean and that type of thing should work just fine.

I'll do some reading on TimeSpan.

Thanks,
