Android Question Date comparison

[Anser]

Hi,

Can anybody confirm that whether anything wrong in the below given code. It just compare that whether the given date is lesser than the Current date.

DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
Dim cSelectedDate As String = "2016-06-22"
Dim dSelectedDate As Long = DateTime.DateParse(cSelectedDate)

ToastMessageShow(cSelectedDate,False) 'This toastmessage is displayed. Beyond this point nothing happens

If dSelectedDate < DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now) Then 'Compare with current date
    ToastMessageShow("Date is lesser than the current date",False)
    Return
Else
    ToastMessageShow("Date is greater than Current date",False)        
End If
ToastMessageShow("Date check completed",False)

What am I doing wrong. My app does not show any messages. It will show only the first ToasMessage, the second or third is not shown

Regards

Anser

you are comparing a string with a long

try

If dSelectedDate < DateTime.Now

you are comparing a string with a long

Oops. To eliminate the Time part from the date I used DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now). Only now I noticed that DateTime.Date returns string
