Solution 1

Try with DateTime.Compare Method[^]

Or else try something like this:

string s = "2012-10-01";
string t = "2012-10-16";

DateTime theDateA = DateTime.Parse(s);
DateTime theDateB = DateTime.Parse(t);

if (theDateB > theDateA)
{
   // Your code here
}

..and for more look here[^], and also similar threads on CP Search[^]
