compare two dates time hours and minutes (not secs)?

Question

This is may be silly question. But I am missing logic here. I have to compare dates with date time with hours and minutes (not with seconds).

IF first field time is older then second field execute condition

right now I am doing if (Convert.ToDateTime(newItem["Modified"]) < Convert.ToDateTime(properties.ListItem["Modified"]))

example if("02/12/2015 11:58" < "02/12/2015 12:01") then execute condition.

You could create new DateTime objects with mostly the same values, but with seconds set to 0. Example:

DateTime date1WithoutSeconds = new DateTime(dt1.Year, dt1.Month, dt1.Day, dt1.Hour, dt1.Minute, 0);
DateTime date2WithoutSeconds = new DateTime(dt2.Year, dt2.Month, dt2.Day, dt2.Hour, dt2.Minute, 0);

bool b = date1WithoutSeconds < date2WithoutSeconds;
