I want to show if the delivery is late

Question

I'm trying to make a delivery tab which will display all Purchase Order that haven't arrived yet. How do I compare a PODate Datetime field in the database to the DateTime.Now

I'm trying to use this code

DateTime poDate = DateTime.Parse(PODate.Text)

if ((poDate < DateTime.Now))
Panel1.Visible = "true";

Can it be done using select query, that will allow me to select all those Purchase Order that are late from the database

Answer 1

Try to parse the variable via DateTime.Parse() method,

DateTime poDate = DateTime.Parse(PODate.Text)

if ((poDate < DateTime.Now))
Panel1.Visible = "true";

or use Convert.ToDateTime() method.

PODate = PODate.Text

if ((Convert.ToDateTime(PODate) < DateTime.Now))
Panel1.Visible = "true";

But please use google next time.

Answer 2

Convert convert PODate.Text to a DateTime

 DateTime PODate = DateTime.ParseExact(PODate.Text, "your Date format", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);


if ((poDate < DateTime.Now))
Panel1.Visible = "true";

Edit
In select Query where @poDate as InputParameter

select * 
from Test_Table
where 
@poDate < GETDATE()
