C# Convert int fiscalYear to datetime or datetimepicker

Question

This is what I started. I have a CaseOpened date that restricts dates to fiscalYear date but no future dates allowed. 

int fiscalYear;

if (MyCase.CaseOpened.Month >=7)

fiscalYear = MyCase.CaseOpened.Year +1;

//Use fiscalYear in datetimepickers for min/maxdate. My fiscal year runs from july of previous year to july of this year. Today's date is the maxDate, past dates from July of last year to today's date can be entered for minDate. I don't know how to manipulate date with If Else.

datetimepicker1 maxDate = datetime.today;

datetimepicker1 minDate = fiscalYear date + maxDate; 

if (MyCase.CaseOpened == null)

{

myCase.CaseOpened=minDate;

MyCase.CaseOpened=maxDate;

}

else

error msg, "Future dates are not allowed."

Please help. I could be doing it all wrong. Thank you in advance.

else
fiscalYear = MyCase.CaseOpened.Year;

Answer 1

Hi, Thanks for reply. Actually I am trying to develop an application with central database ( Ms SQL). And users connect to this database. Whenever user connects to the central database for first time I application needs to copy all the tables needed by this particular user on his local machine database. So that he can access his local copy when he is offline. And some periodical synchronization to be carried out to keep all copies consistent. I need ur help to know what to use for this kind of application may be ADO.net or SQLDMO or SQL Server CE 2.0. What will be the good one to start with. Thanks, mohan

... 3. Create DTS package and execute it using dtsrun command line utility. Mike

Answer 3

1. Use Microsoft tool named DTS (Start->Programs->Microsoft SQL Server->Import and Export Data), not c# 2. If You must use C# (see help): - use ExecuteNonQuery() method to create new table in database2 - read data from database1 into datatable1 of dataset (rows status will be unchanged) - create datatable2 and import rows from datatable1 into it to get row status=inserted (may be someone know about better trick ???) - update table created in database2 with data from datatable2
