Ok so I have an application that stores records and does various other functions, I would like to be able to implement a way of creating some sort of alert system where by when a deadline date (stored with any record) is approaching it will tell me/user. Not sure if this is possible but any advice or suggestions would be great thanks.
Using System.DateTime you should be able to access the current date of the machine like this
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
You could compare this with the stored time in your records at a regular intervall (start of the application maybe?) to check if the deadline is approaching.
