OK, this is the way, so what's the problem. Perhaps, this: there is not such thing as date vs. time. There is only on thing: time. A data is nothing more that a position of the time point on the calendar. In your code above, you compare time. A time is a unique point on time scale, and this is what described by the structure DateTime. If your problem is different, please explain.

Whatever code provided you above in that you are compairing two Date values with each other.For that you can use :

VB

Dim d1 As DateTime = New DateTime(Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second)
Dim d2 As DateTime = New DateTime(Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second)
MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Compare(d1, d2))

It return -1 if d1 is less than d2,1 if d1 is greater than d2 and 0 if both are equal.

The time entered with a date-time picker is always valid. There is nothing to validate.

[EDIT]

Please also see the discussion in comments to the question above. I try to explain the meaning of DateTime. This is not date + time, this is actually time, a unique point on the time line. Comparison of the values ('==', '!=', '<=', '>=', '>', '<') compares which events are simultaneous or which one follows which one; without data or time of the day concerns. This is what should be used for validation of time data.
