How to test two dateTimes for being the same date?
c#, datetime, equality
Solution
Try
if (dt.Date == DateTime.Now.Date)
It will only take the date portion and the timestamp will be 12:00:00
Problem
Possible Duplicate: How to compare Dates in C# This code of mine: ``` public static string getLogFileNameForDate(DateTime dt) { if (dt.Equals(DateTime.Now)) ``` ...fails even when the two dates are the same (date) because dt is assigned a value at startup (e.g. "6/18/2012 15:19:42"), and so the dates are not exactly the same, even though the year, month, and day are the same (value of DateTime.Now may be, say, "6/18/2012 15:30:13"). I know I can test it this way: ``` if ((dt.Year.Equals(DateTime.Now.Year) && (dt.Month.Equals(DateTime.Now.Month) && (dt.Day.Equals(DateTime.Now.Day)) ``` ...but that seems a bit Jethro*-like What is the accepted/preferred method (no pun intended)? - Clampett, not Tull
