Hi mathieu_cupryk;

This should do what you need.

value = "20090210"

Dim dt As DateTime = New DateTime(Int32.Parse(value.Substring(0, 4)), _
                                  Int32.Parse(value.Substring(4, 2)), _
                                  Int32.Parse(value.Substring(6, 2)))

Dim ts As TimeSpan = dt - Today

If ts.Days > 7 Then
    ' Delete your files in here
End If

I have the following:

value = 20090210
I need to compare this to datetime and return true if older than 7 days.


Comparing string to datetime.

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
