Compare File Time Only, no Date

Andrew L

Hello Everyone
I am working on a file copy app. I have everything working correctly, but I have a small snag. I cannot have the end user always providing the current date. The files that I want to copy are created daily. I want to write the code that will use the current date, and use the time variables that I supply to compare with the file creation time.

So my question is: How can I compare the file time only with a variable?

Thank you in advance

following code also works
DateTime systemDate = DateTime.Now;
DateTime compareDate = DateTime.Today.AddHours(11D);

// less than
if (compareDate < systemDate)
    Console.WriteLine("Less Than");

// equal to
if (compareDate == systemDate)
    Console.WriteLine("Equal To");

// greater than
if (compareDate > systemDate)
    Console.WriteLine("Greater Than");

you can compare the two values by the following code....

DateTime t1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime t2 = Convert.ToDateTime("11:00:00 AM");
int i = DateTime.Compare(t1,t2);
