I think,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; if(DateTime.Parse(dr[&quot;birt<wbr />hday&quot;].ToS<wbr />tring()) &lt;&nbsp;DateTime.Today)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; // birthday is less than today's date<br />
&nbsp; else<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; // birthday is greater than today's date<br />
<br />
Might be a little closer...
</div>


I think,

  if(DateTime.Parse(dr["birthday"].ToString()) < DateTime.Today)
    // birthday is less than today's date
  else
    // birthday is greater than today's date

Might be a little closer...

Ok can this be update the if statement a bit more I need to know if the date entered is equal to Nov.16,2004 then flag it. <br />
I am really bad with the syntact stuff.<br />
Thanks.

compare date, if less than today
