Question

I have the following code (a DataView that filtered by DateTime):

dv = new DataView(
        dataTable1,
        "DateTime >= '" + Convert.ToDateTime("7/5/2011 9:21:00 AM") + "'",
        "ID ASC", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);

My datatable1 consist of the following data in the DateTime column:

• A: “7/5/2011 9:20:59 AM”
• B: “7/5/2011 9:21:00 AM”
• C: “7/5/2011 9:21:01 AM”
• D: “7/5/2011 9:22:00 AM”

Supposedly, only A should get filtered.
But my code has A, B and C filtered as well, and only returns D.

What is wrong?

Answer 1

Try enclosing the date string with #. For example:

dv = new DataView(
        dataTable1,
        "DateTime >= #" + Convert.ToDateTime("7/5/2011 9:21:00 AM") + "#",
        "ID ASC", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);
