dates

Hi all,

I have a small problem with the code below, the 'days' variable always seems to be 0 no matter how far apart the days are.

Can you see anything obviously wrong?

        System.TimeSpan span = dates[0] - dates[1]; // e.g. 12/04/2010 11:44:08 and 18/05/2010 11:52:19
        int days = (int)span.TotalDays;

        if (days > 10) //days always seems to be 0
        {
            throw new Exception("Over 10 days");
        }

Thanks

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
