Time span issues - I think - for subscriptions

Question

I have some user areas that I will require a check to take place on, no matter which page the user logs into.

I have a login control on the master page of each protected area and I have a table that will contain a username and date.
the date should be entered when they register and a second date which is 12 months on from when they register.

What I need to do is this.
1, check one area and check - A, at 2 months before the subscription is due and display a friendly message, B at 1 month before the due date and do the same as a, then when the date runs out I want it to then automatically forward them to a payment page.

I have no idea how to write it or to implement it, can anyone help?

Thanks

Thats great thanks. How Can I combine this to work with your code?? Also how can I get it so that on the final check ie date is today or past today, I want the page to direct them to a payment page. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { GetRenewal(); CompareDates(); } protected void GetRenewal() { string UserName = Membership.GetUser().UserName; // Declare Objects SqlConnection conn; SqlCommand comm; SqlDataReader reader; // Read connection string string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Team45"].ConnectionString; // Initialize connection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString); // Create the command comm = new SqlCommand("SELECT RenewalDate FROM Memberships WHERE UserName = @UserName", conn); // Add Command Parameters comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserName", Membership.GetUser().UserName); // Enclose db code in try-catch-finally try { conn.Open(); reader = comm.ExecuteReader(); // Display the data on the form if (reader.Read()) { RenewalLabel.Text = reader["RenewalDate"].ToString(); } //Close the reader reader.Close(); } catch { //Display Error //dbErrorLabel.Text = "Error finding clubid"; } finally { // Close the connection conn.Close(); } } protected void CompareDates() { DateTime dtNow = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-11).AddDays(-5); DateTime dtExpires = dtNow.AddMonths(12); DateTime dtFirstWarn = dtNow.AddMonths(10); DateTime dtSecondWarn = dtNow.AddMonths(11); Response.Write("Signup Date: " + dtNow.ToShortDateString() + " "); Response.Write("Expire Date: " + dtExpires.ToShortDateString() + " "); Response.Write("1st Warn Date: " + dtFirstWarn.ToShortDateString() + " "); Response.Write("2nd Warn Date: " + dtSecondWarn.ToShortDateString() + " "); string message = string.Empty; if (DateTime.Now message = "Not Expired Yet "; if (DateTime.Now DateTime.Now > dtFirstWarn && DateTime.Now message = "Warning, you got two months to renew "; if (DateTime.Now DateTime.Now > dtFirstWarn && DateTime.Now > dtSecondWarn) message = "Warning, you got one month to renew "; if (DateTime.Now >= dtExpires) message = "That's it, you are terminated "; Response.Write(message); } }

Something like this but assuming that you will write the values to the database and recover them to test for a warning message: protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { DateTime dtNow = DateTime .Now.AddMonths(-11).AddDays(-5); DateTime dtExpires = dtNow.AddMonths(12); DateTime dtFirstWarn = dtNow.AddMonths(10); DateTime dtSecondWarn = dtNow.AddMonths(11); Response.Write( "Signup Date: " + dtNow.ToShortDateString() + " " ); Response.Write( "Expire Date: " + dtExpires.ToShortDateString() + " " ); Response.Write( "1st Warn Date: " + dtFirstWarn.ToShortDateString() + " " ); Response.Write( "2nd Warn Date: " + dtSecondWarn.ToShortDateString() + " " ); string message = string .Empty; if ( DateTime .Now message = "Not Expired Yet " ; if ( DateTime .Now DateTime .Now > dtFirstWarn && DateTime .Now message = "Warning, you got two months to renew " ; if ( DateTime .Now DateTime .Now > dtFirstWarn && DateTime .Now > dtSecondWarn) message = "Warning, you got one month to renew " ; if ( DateTime .Now >= dtExpires) message = "That's it, you are terminated " ; Response.Write(message); }
