Date Comparison. There has to be a easier way..

[jgaylord]

Basically its like this I need to compare Date1 to Date2 and If the 2 dates are withing 3 days forward or 3 days back of each other then perform whatever module from there... with my skill level (LOW)... I can only break each date down into month... day... year... then go through a huge module of comparision.... taking into account that February only has 28 days.... I know there has to be built in function that I dont understand how to use... that would do all of this for me. Could someone point me in the right direction please.

I hope that made sense.... please respond if dont understand.

You can use a TimeSpan e.g.

        Dim d1 As Date
        Dim d2 As Date
        Dim t As TimeSpan
        t = d1.Subtract(d2)

Then, just check whatever properties of the "t" object you need (in your case Days or TotalDays).

Hi,

give this a try:

                If DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, yourdate1, yourdate2) <= 3 Then
                    'do stuff
                End If

Hope it helps !
