Hello,

I'm modifying the event widget template, but I have no idea how to get the current date (DateTime.Now()) to be compared with the EventEnd field. Is there a way to accomplish this?

<sf:Conditional If='<%# DateTime.Now() > (DateTime)Eval("EventEnd") %>' runat="server">

<Then>

Event ends.

</Then>

<Else>

Event is active.

</Else>

</sf:Conditional>

Please advise.

Thanks,

Brew

Hi,

Can you please try to use the below sample which works for me:

<sf:Conditional If='<%# DateTime.Now < (DateTime)Eval("EventEnd") %>' runat="server">

<Then>

<%# Eval("Title")%>'s end date (<%# Eval("EventEnd") %>) is AFTER than Now

</Then>

<Else>

<%# Eval("Title")%> 's end date (<%# Eval("EventEnd") %>) is BEFORE than Now

</Else>

</sf:Conditional>

Please observe the screenshot for the result: http://screencast.com/t/kNLk6uC6PG86
