When you store the user input in the first place, store the current date and time in an SQL Date field.
When you display it, retrieve the information.

Can't be more specific, don't know how your site works...

"but how to display posted yesterday."

Use a TimeSpan: subtract the date posted from the current date (DateTime.Now) and check the Days property. If it is zero, the "posted Today". If it is one, then "posted Yesterday". Simple to work out "last week", "last month" and so on if you need it.

Solution 2

Take one field into your table as PostedDate or any Name <br />
and set its Default value getDate()<br />
it will automatically add exact date and time of you stored Data <br />
then at the time of retrieving just calculate that according to your Requirement.

My only criticism on that is that it potentially uses a different date/time: it uses the database Server date and time, not the Web server - if you do any math, then you have to use the same date/time for everything.

Solution 3

Make a table and take a column as postedDate and set its data type as
Datetime and set default value as getdate().

now run this query as:

SQL

select datediff(d,postedDate ,getdate()) as DayOlder from tablename
