Hi -

Instead of adding hours - it would be much easier to add days

If( BookDate.Day == DateTime.Today.AddDays(1) )
return;

Then you can have your calculation of time.

11 AM on the client, on the server, GMT, or what?

well it does not help me because it should be
possible to book for the day after tommorrow and all the other days in the
futue.
Just not tomorrow.

And by the way , i meant 11 AM, but i guess it is probably not so
important.

well that was a good question...
i did not think global while posting this on a global
news group.
But i assumm the booking person is on the same time
zone as where the event is taking place.

But the time would have to be on the server . since different client
probably
have different times.

Well the problem with this approach is that

"BookDate.Day" may match a " DateTime.Today.AddDays(1) " very far out in the
future
and then prevent booking mistakenly.

I have experienced that the day property of the DateTime object is beetwenn
(1 and 31).


I hope i'am right.




is that

Fix your System Clock!

Just wanted to make sure that you had thought about that question. Nobody
had mentioned that issue in their replies, and the answer as to how to write
your query depends upon the answer to that question.

With respect . .

When you do what you did, your post remains at the top ( annoyingly to most
people ) until the date has passed.

 

[bredal Jensen]

Sorry , fixed

fix your internal clock. It's irritating to see ppl like you abuse the
newsgroups like this.

The date now is 18-6 and not 30-6

If you had read the complete thread, you would know that someone else had
already remarked on this, and bredal has already fixed it. According to
bredal, it was an accident. Let's give the guy a break!

You'll definitely want to look into this. It looks like your own system
clock is messed up (you are somehow posting questions from the future...)

No, he was posting these questions in the past - last week to be exact. And
this issue has been resolved.

What he meant was the the poses from bredal are dated 6/30/2004... which is
actually kind of annoying as it always stays at the top of the article
list...
let's just all give him the bennefit of the doubt that it wasn't on
purpose..

Also bear in mind that you might be hosting your site on a server in a
different timezone (which I do for example).

Hello gurus,


I'm building a small booking system and i have come accross quiet a tedious
pitfall.

"I need to make sure that people do not book for tomorrow when todays time
is greater or equal to 11."


Well some of you probably allready know the answer but this is not so
obvious for me.

Can anyone solve this puzzle for me?

The booking hour is of no importance. Only the hour at which we are making
this booking
and only if it is the day after today.


Many thanks in advance

J.B

Well i think i have found something that works:
if (DateTime.Now.AddHours(10).Day==bookDate.Day) { do not book}


.. I have tested it works but
it requires some mathematics to prove that it will not break in 20 or 30
years
