c# - How to compare DateTime without time via LINQ?

Question

I have

var q = db.Games.Where(t => t.StartDate >= DateTime.Now).OrderBy(d => d.StartDate);

But it compares including time part of DateTime. I really don't need it.

How to do it without time?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The Date property is not supported by LINQ to Entities -- you'll get an error if you try to use it on a DateTime field in a LINQ to Entities query. You can, however, trim dates using the DbFunctions.TruncateTime method.

var today = DateTime.Today;
var q = db.Games.Where(t => DbFunctions.TruncateTime(t.StartDate) >= today);
