I have a code in vb, and I’m trying convert it to c#.
_nextContactDate.ToShortDateString > New Date(1900, 1, 1)
This is _nexContractDate declaration:
Private _nextContactDate As DateTime
It’s weird for me. Comapre datetime to string?
What this code is doing is extracting the date part (i.e. removing the time part) and using VB’s loose nature to allow a date represented as a string to be implicitly converted back to a date for the purposes of comparison with an actual date.
The correct way to remove the time part would be to check as follows:
It seems odd, as this means that the 1st Jan 1900 will fail this check, and only dates from the 2nd Jan 1900 will pass. As such, I’d be inclined to check whether this code has a logic error.
