Compare DateOnly values with DateTime. Shouldn't it be possible?

Question

Using .Net 6 and VS2022 , consider this code:

DateOnly dateOnly= new DateOnly(2022,12,24);
            DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Now;

            if (dateTime > dateOnly)
            {

            }

It will result in this error:

Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'DateTime' and 'DateOnly'

Even there are no built-in properties to get the DateOnly from a DateTime without coding some custom extension methods nor the DateOnly.Compare methods support comparing to the DateTime type. The story is the same for TimeOnly If I am not missing something, what is the correct way of comparing these two types?

Update:

Just found It is not even possible to use these types just like other types in the webapi query parameters! Also EF core 6 does not have build-in support for these types in SqlClient!
Maybe it would be better to delay using these types...

Answer 1

You can get the DateOnly from DateTime like this.

DateOnly dateOnly = DateOnly.FromDateTime(dateTime);

Then you can use the CompareTo method to compare both DateOnly.

Same concept is for TimeOnly, there is a TimeOnly.FromDateTime method.
