Check specific hour

Question

I've searched here for a solution, but I can't make it work for me.

My problem is:

I have a rotine where a email is sent each 2 minutes, but now I need to check the hour to send this email only once for day.

I need something like this

if(hourNow == '18')
  send();

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

The DateTime type has an Hour property that returns the hour of the day (0 - 23). You can use that:

if(DateTime.Now.Hour == 18)
    send();

Answer 2

Try this:

var nowHour = DateTime.Now.Hour;

if(nowHour==18)
{
}

DateTime.Now gets current date and time, and .Hour get hour. You can do this with Day, Year, Month etc.
