just a simple request here about Datetime.ToString im not into this but needed the assistant-CodePudding

#endif

            string today = "#datetime";
            if (today == DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"))
            {
                Application.Run(new ClipboardNotification.NotificationForm());
            }
            else
            {
                Application.Run(new ClipboardNotification2.NotificationForm());
            }

so apparently in this code above there is a method would run within only 1 IF statement after todays daily date has past, so I wanted to make it run after 2 days instead of 1 day so what should I put their? any help would be appreciated

CodePudding user response：

Compare the Dates with DateTime or TimeSpan which will be easier. Don't use strings for dates as they can't be compared (eg 11/23/2021 vs 23/11/2021). Try like this I hope its helps:

var date = new DateTime(2021,11,23);

if(date > DateTime.Today.AddDays(2))
{
      // do stuff
}

CodePudding user response：

const int intervalDays = 2; // desired interval
string dateString = "30/11/2021";
DateTime convertedDate = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
TimeSpan gap = DateTime.Now - convertedDate;
if (Math.Abs(gap.Days) < intervalDays)
{
    Console.WriteLine("logic for less than 2 days");
    //Application.Run(new ClipboardNotification.NotificationForm());
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("logic for greater than or equal to 2 days");
    //Application.Run(new ClipboardNotification2.NotificationForm());
}

check if this works for you.
