Hi,
I need to select some data from my DB where the date is only today, so i do a between (startDate and endDate). It was working fine with the below code:
DateTime betweenStart = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day, 0, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime betweenEnd = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, (DateTime.Now.Day + 1), 0, 0, 0, 0);
It stopped working today, because todays date - 31th Jan - is not a valid date with the above, eg: 31 + 1 = 32nd Jan.
So i tried using the Add method on DateTime, but whatever i add - hours, days, seconds - it never changes anything.
betweenEnd.AddHours(24);
The only thing i do with the DateTimes after creating them is to do a ToString().
Anyone know of a better way to get my solution or can see what i am doing wrong?
Regards,
Gareth.

Will not work because you'd need to do something like:
var betweenStart = DateTime.Now.Date;
var betweenEnd = betweenStart.AddDays(1); Because DateTime is a struct then you have to assign it back to the same variable (also note the DateTime.Now.Date property which returns the date part only, thus elimintating your extra bit of code).

Not quite. It is because it is immutable that you have to assign it back. Structs, by their nature, happen to work better when they are immutable, but they are not required to be.

Fussy, fussy, that wasn't a bad reply for someone who just woke up after the first night of serious drinking in 4 years.

Pah! I've not drunk in just over 8 years now. I wonder what I'd be like if I decided to start again. Probably on the floor after half a beer.

I was suprised by how well I held my drink considering that I've never drunk heavily and have had a complete halt so to speak while I had my treatment. Managed better than those that drink regularly which is what I was implying more than anything.

Try something like:
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day);
DateTime endDate = startDate.AddDays(1.0).AddSeconds(-1.0); // include 11:59:59, not so accurate.
.. if you want to use >= and <= for the range comparison, else
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day);
DateTime endDate = startDate.AddDays(1.0);
for >= and < range comparison.

darkelv,
Thank you. Works a treat.

A word of caution - using DateTime.Now more than once in a statement is dangerous since its value changes each time you access the property. It's safer to do:
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
int foo = now.Something + now.SomethingElse + ...;

If you're still using the first betweenEnd line then it's not going to work as that's where your error is occuring. Try this:
DateTime tempDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
DateTime betweenEnd = new DateTime(tempDate.Year, tempDate.Month, tempDate.Day, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Why are you doing this in C#? You're retrieving data from the database so why not use SQL to do this instead? That would seem to be a much better way to accomplish this.

Pete O'Hanlon,
Its designed to work on Access, and your suggestion would need stored procs which Access doesn't support, correct me if i am wrong though!

Gareth.

No - it just needs SQL, which access supports.

I don't understand why noone yet has suggested the very simplest solution...?
DateTime betweenStart = DateTime.Today;
DateTime betweenEnd = betweenStart.AddDays(1);
Note: To get the correct result you should not use the between operator in SQL with these dates. The right way to it is to make the condition for betweenEnd non inclusive:
where someDate >= @BetweenStart and someDate < @BetweenEnd
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

If you're passing the values to an SQL command you would do well to use Parmeters of type DateTime.

Using method
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processescname)
, my program will not work anymore once someone has changed their name.
is there any way to solve this problem?

With this amount of information, there's no way to solve the problem.
If you try to identify a process by its name and the name is changed there's no way of knowing if it's still the same program.
Why do you need to know whether a process with a given name exists?
Wouldn't it be better to use a mutex to flag the active state of an application?

by changing the EXE's file name (while it is not running).
Probably relevant only if two programs need to communicate or synchronize something;
a uniquely named resource (mutex) is the way to go. Process names are bad: someone can create
a totally different app, give it the same file name in another folder, so it would get the
same process name.

Well, a process, you know, is a running executable  , hence my question.

Provided the above scenarion holds (I doubt about, but I'm a malicious guy), also a registered window message may do the trick.

Please be kind on (process) names. Last time someone found user-friendly names bad, he founded an incomprehensible technology full of funny 128 bit identifiers, fancy abstract classes and obscure registry entries.

Most of us have a first name, a last name, and when it really matters a unique and
rather long identification number, such as a social security number.

thank all
Just consider this code:
<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process[] myProcesses = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(procname);<br />
if (myProcesses.Length == 0)<br />
Console.WriteLine("Nothing.");<br />
else<br />
Console.WriteLine("Is running.");<br />
Process's name can be changed easily, just like Luc Patyn said. Process's ID changes each time process begin to run in our system.
Just wonder can I get it by what?
