Hello All

Am here translating my VB code in C# but could not find the replacement of Simulate Keyword can anybody suggest me the solution.

Below is the VB Code

VB

If (Not IsDate(Request("start_date"))) or (Not IsDate(Request("end_date"))) Then
           result = False
       Else
           If CDate(Request("start_date")) > CDate(Request("end_date")) Then result = False
       End If

Below is the translated C# code

C#

if ((!Simulate.IsDate(Request("start_date"))) | (!Simulate.IsDate(Request("end_date"))))
{
           result = false;
       }
       else
       {
           if (Convert.ToDateTime(Request("start_date")) > Convert.ToDateTime(Request("end_date")))
           {
               result = false;
           }
       }

Error is :
if ((!Simulate.IsDate(Request("start_date"))) | (!Simulate.IsDate(Request("end_date"))))
The name 'Simulate' does not exists in current context.

Assuming that the Request returns a string, then use TryParse:

C#

DateTime start;
DateTime end;
if (!DateTime.TryParse(Request("start_date"), out start) || !DateTime.TryParse(Request("end_date"), out end))
   {
   result= false;
   }
else
   {
   if (start > end)
      {
      result = false;
      }
   }
