Solution 1

You are trying to compare two strings. They might not be the same. If your goal is to match two dates then it would be good if you compare dates like:

VB

date1 = rightNow
date2 = DateTimePicker1.Date
If date1 = date2 Then
 MessageBox.Show("Match")
End If

Incase you are having any problem in getting date, convert the strings into date!

Solution 2

Take a sub part of the string.

        Dim str As String
        Dim et As String
        str = Left(Date.Now, 10)

        et = Left(str, 10)

        If str = et Then
            MsgBox("Match the date")
        End If

//   Cheers

For starters you want the Value from the DateTimePicker then if you are only concerned with the date you can strip out the time by;

VB

Dim date1 As Date
Dim date2 As Date
date1 = DateTime.Now.Date
date2 = DateTimePicker1.Value.Date
MsgBox("RightNow: " & date1)
MsgBox("Pickedate1: " & date2)
If date1 = date2 Then
    MessageBox.Show("Match the date")
End If

If you want to convert the DateTime values to strings you can use;

VB

Dim date1 As String
Dim date2 As String
date1 = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")
date2 = DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")
MsgBox("RightNow: " & date1)
MsgBox("Pickedate1: " & date2)
If date1 = date2 Then
    MessageBox.Show("Match the date")
End If
