are you allowing user to type the text in Textboxes?
or You are just setting the Texts with Calendar Control...

Have you even looked at the DateTime class in C#?

One of the constructors is:

VB

public DateTime(
    int year,
    int month,
    int day
)

So, create two DateTimes and compare them however you're going to compare them. You can use DateTime.CompareTo(DateTime).

This is pretty simple stuff and next time I would suggest starting by googling "compare to Dates in C#".

can you please clearly write the code..iam just starter..thank you

William Winner 2-Aug-10 15:18pm

yes I can. But I will not. These are things you need to find a book to read up on or pay for a class somewhere. This web site isn't meant to be as a tutorial for all wannabe programmers. If you're a starter, then you need to start with something structured, and not just trying to figure it out as you go.

As a side note, looking at the other comments, you also need to make sure that you're checking what the user is typing in the TextBoxes. I will help you with a workflow, but you need to figure out how to accomplish it on your own.

1.)Check that what was typed in the boxes is appropriate (ie. for Month that it's an integer between 1 and 12.)
2.)Create the DateTimes
3.)Compare the DateTimes
4.)Do something based on the result of the comparison.

Why can't you use date control. If you want to stick to text boxes then take the date from all the text boxes and use various IF conditions to compare them... :-D
