Question

I have a textfield that has a date with the format “12/23/2010”.Is there away for me to get the number 23 using watin ie get number from textfield;i’m gonna use it like this.

1.Get datetime 12/23/2010 and get number '23' 
2.substract 2 from 23 and store it somewhere[ie: 23 - 2 = 21] 
3.Insert the new datetime number [ie:12/21/2010 ]

string myDate = browser.TextField(Find.ByName("myTextField")).Value;
DateTime time =  = new DateTime();
time2 = time - 2;
browser.TextField(Find.ByName("myTextField")).TypeText(time2);

Is this possible?or should i be looking to another way.Ask the user to insert the data instead.

Answer 1

Try getting the value of the date as string
Convert it to datetime and use AddDays we can use negative or positive value
And insert it into textbox

string myDate = this.Elements.textfield.Value;
DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(myDate);
DateTime dtNew = dt.AddDays(-3);
this.Elements.ChangeDateActive.TypeText(dtNew.ToShortDateString());

That’s it thanks
