Comparison between time of 2 DateTime c#

Question

What is the best way to compare the time of 2 DateTime objects?

For example

• DateTime1 = 2012-07-30 01:00
• DateTime2 = 2012-08-01 02:00

I just need to compare the time NOT the date.

Thanks

Answer 1

if (DateTime1.TimeOfDay > DateTime2.TimeOfDay)
{
    MessageBox.Show("DateTime1 is later");
}

Answer 2

You can use DateTime.TimeOfDay to get just the time part to compare. This is essentially the same as if you did d - d.Date.
