Can you fix this?

Question

Button should be enabled in the time of 7:36 AM and it works but my problem is the button will be disabled in 8:00 AM. Can you help me in this.

Here is my code:

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

labelTime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();

OutBtn.Enabled = (labelTime.Text == "7:36 AM" );

timer1.Start();

}

Answer 1

My problem in here sir

I set the labelTime to my form as a time and I use timer_tick when the form is running the labelTime will shown as a time and I have buttons the In and Out.

I want to when the time is 7:36 AM to 7:59 AM the button out will be enabled and then when the time is 8:00 AM the button will be disabled

The problem in my code is when time turns to 7:37 AM the button out will disable. What can I do for my code?

Answer 2

What is the interval of the timer ?

How long should the button be enabled. Can you improve your if statement ?

Answer 3

your code only test for time string equals to "7:36 AM"...

you should convert the time string to two numbers (one for hours, the other for minutes) and one boolean (am = true if "AM" in time string else false), and test if you are in the good time range:

OutBtn.Enabled = (am && h==7 && m>=36);

When comparing date/time. Always convert the string to a datatime-variable.

string simpleTime = "1/1/2000";
DateTime time = DateTime.Parse(simpleTime);

After that you can write
if label1time > 736time
&&
label1.time < 759time
{ enable button;}

What is the interval of this timer ?
Where is the timer started ?
