Hi
How to compare the date entered in the textbox having format dd/mm/yyyy with system date in .Net.I have to validate the date with system date so that the user should not be allowed to enter the date less than system date.My date format is dd/mm/yyyy.

Thanks and Regards.

Hi
   DateTime.Now will get you the system date.Properties like Month,Year,Day will give you the system date's month,day,year.You can check the entered date by extracting portions of the date(dd,mm,yyyy) with the system date's month,day,year..

I am getting the system date in dd/mm/yyyy format but how to compare that with the entered date.I have to compare that the entered date must not be less than system date.

One way is you can extract the portion of the day,month and year of both the dates and you can check..
Second way is convert the entered date to DateTime and use the DateTime.CompareTo function to check the entered date is less than System date.
Ex. result = Entererdate.CompareTo(SystemDate) .if result is less than 0,then entereddate is lesser.

You can also use DateDiff() function.
chk this in .NET SDK Framework help

Yes lily you can use DateDiff also.If the difference is negative,then date is lesser.
