Error-Use of unassigned local variable StuckDate

Question

Hi DateTime StuckDate; ltrlDays.Text = (DateTime.Now - StuckDate).Days.ToString(); Thanks

Brahma Prakash Shukla · Answer

The error message you're encountering is because you're using an uninitialized variable, StuckDate , in your code. Before subtracting DateTime.Now from StuckDate , you need to assign a value to StuckDate . Here's an example of how you can fix the error: DateTime StuckDate = new DateTime(2023, 6, 15); // Replace with your desired date ltrlDays.Text = (DateTime.Now - StuckDate).Days.ToString(); In the above example, I've initialized StuckDate with a specific date ( new DateTime(2023, 6, 15) ). You should replace it with your desired date. By providing a valid value to StuckDate , you can perform the subtraction operation and retrieve the number of days using the Days property. After assigning a value to StuckDate , the expression (DateTime.Now - StuckDate).Days will give you the number of days between the current date and the StuckDate . The ToString() method converts the result to a string, which can be assigned to the ltrlDays.Text property or used in any other way you require.

Hi Ramco, you are assigning stuckDate variable in if condition and trying to use in other block. foreach (View_LeadDetail colum in objResult) { StuckDate = Convert.ToDateTime(colum.ActualActionDate); if (rowctr == 1) { ActualActionDate = Convert.ToDateTime(colum.ActualActionDate); } if (colum.ActionTypeID != Convert.ToInt32(hdfActionTypeId.Value)) { ltrlDays.Text = (DateTime.Now - StuckDate).Days.ToString(); break; } rowctr++; }

Hi Sam foreach (View_LeadDetail colum in objResult) { if (rowctr == 1) { ActualActionDate = Convert.ToDateTime(colum.ActualActionDate); StuckDate = Convert.ToDateTime(colum.ActualActionDate); } if (colum.ActionTypeID != Convert.ToInt32(hdfActionTypeId.Value)) { ltrlDays.Text = (DateTime.Now - StuckDate).Days.ToString(); break; } else { StuckDate = Convert.ToDateTime(colum.ActualActionDate); } rowctr++; } Thanks

Where is the value assigned to StuckDate in that code? Can you tell us where it is assigned a value?
