Only displaying rows in first column (index 0) where cells match a particular date

Question

How would I hide all rows on my dataGridView that do not match the date of \"27/11/2013\". Currently the code below hides all my rows...

private void viewOverdue         


        

Answer 1

You should parse your DateTime to string and then compare.

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(row.Cells[0].Value.ToString(), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string d = dt.ToString("dd/M/yyyy");
if (!string.Equals(d, "27/11/2013", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) {
    row.Visible = false;
}
else
{
    row.Visible = true;
}

Also implement the following namespace:

using System.Globalization;
