Hey kids, what day is it?

[esaulsberry]

Why do people do this? To make my brain hurt?

DateTime startDate = new DateTime(
DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1).Year,
DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1).Month,
DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1).Day);

DateTime endDate = new DateTime(
DateTime.Now.Year,
DateTime.Now.Month,
DateTime.Now.Day);

Because using time spans is harderest. Soupcon of a brain fart there. It's c#, so addDays() does it all for you. But that needs thinkification.

To introduce subtle bugs around midnight, that require expensive fixing and guarantee a job for life?

I've done something similar to the second one of those, i.e.

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
DateTime midnight = new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, now.Day);

Am I missing an elegant way to do that?

DateTime endDate = DateTime.Today;

Today is Now with the time truncated.

Erm, I was just logging on to report myself for this. It looks very similar :-)

System::Drawing::Rectangle clientRectangle = System::Drawing::Rectangle(ClientRectangle.X, ClientRectangle.Y, ClientRectangle.Width, ClientRectangle.Height);

I have no defense, guilty as charged :-(

It would be interesting to have a coding horrors forum that only allowed self-reported craziness.

The first step to recover is admitting you have a problem.:thumbsup:

Thanks, I'll try to remember that! Not that intuitive a name, to me.

One could also use DateTime.Now.Date;.

LOL It had been some time since I checked this forum and when I saw the title of this post I thought there would be tons of Rebbeca Black references (I'm writing this as of FRIDAY, September 7th)

How would that work for people who suffer from hypochondria? ;P

[Lost User]

Definitely WTF worthy. :) You have my sympathies.
