See more:

int result = DateTime.Compare(issuedate,expireddate);
if(result < 0)
Console.WriteLine("issue date is less than expired date");
else if(result == 0)
Console.WriteLine("Both dates are same");
else if(result > 0)
Console.WriteLine("issue date is greater than expired date");

Solution 1

Try:

if (a == b && b == c)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("All dates are the same");
    }
else
    {
    DateTime[] dates = new DateTime[] { a, b, c };
    Array.Sort(dates);
    Console.WriteLine("Earliest: {0}, Middle: {1}, Latest: {2}", dates[0], dates[1], dates[2]);
    }

In addition to soultion#1 by OriginalGriff[^]...

DateTime issuedate = new DateTime(2018,4,5);
DateTime expireddate = new DateTime(2018,4,5);
DateTime currentdate = DateTime.Today;

bool result = (issuedate == currentdate && currentdate == expireddate);
Console.WriteLine("All dates are equal: {0}", result);

result = (issuedate < currentdate && currentdate < expireddate);
Console.WriteLine("Issue date is less than current date and current date is less than expired date: {0}", result);
