Getting Today's date using CrmDateTime

Posted on by Rahul_M 635

Hi

I have a requirement where I have to set a field's value to Today's date using CrmDateTime.

How can I do this? I don't see any such property in the object of CrmDateTime class.

Regards

Rahul

    Rahul,

    The CrmDateTime object is nothing more than a wrapper really around the Date object in C#.  You can do something like this:

    DateTime _today = DateTime.Today();

    CrmDateTime _crm = new CrmDateTime(_today);

    Jeremy,

    You code would not work because CrmDateTime class doesn't have constructor which will get DateTime as parameter and Today is property of DateTime and not method.

    Rahul,

    You can use following code:

    CrmDateTime _crm = new CrmDateTime(DateTime.Today.ToString("s"));

    Andriy,

    Thanks for my correction, I was thinking of a different object.   Thank you for the correction in my code.  You can also use the .Now() static method of the CrmDateTime object if you don't want to use DateTime.Today.

    Jeremy,

    If I'm not wrong Now is static property of CrmDateTime class.

    Hi Rahul,

    you can follow the below code:

    DateTime CurrentDate = DateTime.Today;

    RecordName.Attributes["sal_startdatetime"] = StartDate;
