Date

New in v1.0.8: Added Date.FromDateTime(DateTime dt) conversion.

Implements Date support without the need to neglect the time part.

  • Conversion to ISO and other formatted date strings
  • Parsing
  • Conversions to/from DateTime
  • Comparisons between Date values as well as Date and DateTime values.
  • Addition and subscription with TimeSpan values.

Examples

Console.WriteLine($"Date is {Date.Now}");
Console.WriteLine($"Date is {DateTime.Now.ToDate()}");
Console.WriteLine($"Minimum Date is {DateTime.MinValue.ToDate()}");
Console.WriteLine($"Maximum Date is {DateTime.MaxValue.ToDate()}");
Console.WriteLine($"Today + 1 hour 59 minutes is {Date.Now + new TimeSpan(1, 59, 0)}");
Console.WriteLine($"Current time cast to Date is {(Date)DateTime.Now}");
Console.WriteLine($"Current date cast to DateTime is {(DateTime)Date.Now}");
Console.WriteLine($"Current date cast to DateTime is {DateTime.FromDateTime(Date.Now)}");

// Comparisions between two Dates as well as between a Date and a DateTime are supported
Date newYearsEve = new Date(2020, 12, 31);
Date christmas = new Date(2020, 12, 24);
string beforeOrAfter = christmas < newYearsEve ? "before" : "after";
Console.WriteLine($"Christmas is {beforeOrAfter} New Years Eve");

string dateString = "2020-12-31";
Console.WriteLine($"Parsing the date {dateString} gives {Date.Parse(dateString)}");

// Additions and subtractions are supported via TimeSpans
var fourDays = new TimeSpan(4, 0, 0, 0);
Console.WriteLine($"Four days before Christmas is {(Date)(christmas - fourDays)}");
