[CrossofIron]

Maybe may question doesn't concern to this forum ,but i have a problem on ComponentOne DateEdit control.
(C1.Win.C1Input.C1DateEdit tmp_regdate)
i can't compare dates,exactly can't find exact event or method

if (tmp_regdate.Value= tmp_regendate.Value)
{
MessageBox.Show("Registration date must to be equal!");
tmp_regendate.Focus();
}

i can't convert tmp_regdate result to date
the value of tmp_regdate like this '12.12.2006 0:00:00'
can anyone help me?

DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Parse(tmp_regdate.Value);
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Parse(tmp_regendate.Value);

if (dt1.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy").Equals(dt2.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"))
{
//do your stuff here
}
