Check if date x are older than some number of days

Question

This is my first project in C#. I need Check if date x are older than some number of days.

Example:

if ( THIS_IS_SAVED_DATE_5_DAYS_AGO < OLDER_THAN_5_DAYS ) {

// Do this if saved date is more than 5 days

} 

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

You could use the AddDays method to construct a new date relative to the current date and then compare the two dates:

DateTime x = ...
if (x < DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5)) 
{
    // x is older than 5 days
}

Answer 2

You can do something like:

if (x < x.AddDays(-1*days)) {

}
