Date check

[s.diepstraten]

Hi People,

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything about this.
I want ilogic to compare whether the current date is before or after a date in the future. For example 01-01-2024. If true, the program can continue, otherwise it should return a msgbox. Someone help me?

This seems more like a VB.net question than a Inventor API question. You should have a look for the DateTime class. You can do stuff like this:

Dim today = DateTime.Now
Dim otherDate = New DateTime(2023, 3, 14)

If (today < otherDate) Then
    Dim timLeft = otherDate - today
    MsgBox(timLeft.Days & " days left to otherDate")
Else
    Dim timLeft = today - otherDate
    MsgBox(timLeft.Days & " days past the otherDate")
End If
