Hi,
I am working on a project in which i've to identify a textbox value,
The end user may enter a date (dd\mm\yyyy) or may enter a ticket number (alphanumeric:ex:'VD103'),
can anyone tell me how to distinguish the date or string values entered in the textbox so that depending upon that i am able to connect to the database
Kiran.
you can use Datetime.ParseExact
Show me your work to get more.
My code looks like this
I've used the datetime.exactparse to distinguish between date and string
but
error is that we cannot use
DateTime.ParseExact(strByDateByTkt, strformat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) as a bool type
what should i do
public void btnByDayByTktGo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
objCommon = new HDCommon();
string strVenName = ddlVenTktLog.SelectedValue.ToString().Trim(),
strStatus = ddlVenTktStatus.SelectedValue.ToString().Trim(),
strByDateByTkt = txtVenTktSrchByDayByTkt.Text.ToString().Trim(),
strformat="dd/mm/yyyy",
strMode = "C",
strCheckId="";
if ((DateTime.ParseExact(strByDateByTkt, strformat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)))
{
BindGrid(strVenName, strStatus, "", "", strMode,
objCommon.DateFormat(strByDateByTkt,"MM/DD/YYYY"), "");
}
else
{
BindGrid(strVenName, strStatus, "", "", strMode, strByDateByTkt, "");
}
}I have no clue what you are trying to do.
Please use code tagging.
try
if (DateTime.Compare(DateTime.ParseExact(strByDateByTkt, strformat, System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")), new DateTime(2010, 03, 15)) == 0))
{==0 means the date is equal
< 0 means the right date is less than the left date
> 0 meand the right date is higher than the right date.
