Question

I am trying out a linq query check expiry by comparing a saved date and current date in mvc3 controller

[AllowAnonymous]
   public ActionResult _leftHomeAd()
    {    var LhAd = db.Adverts
         .Where(u => u.ACatId ==1)
         .Where(u => u.OffDate <= DateTime.Now.Day);
          return PartialView(LhAd);

And I get the error that I cannot use <= for system date. Can someone point me in the right direction so that my query can retrieve only adverts that have not expired.

Answer 1

Why are you using DateTime.Now.Day? Change it:

.Where(u => u.OffDate <= DateTime.Now);
