I have created a function in C#, but it did not work as I expected. Today date is 06-10-2023 it should return FeesType 1 but it is returning 2. My code is here

using System.Globalization;

int value = GetFeesType();

Console.WriteLine("FeesType =  {0}", value);

int GetFeesType()
{
    int FeesType = 1;

    DateTime TodayDate = DateTime.Now;

    //TodayDate = Convert.ToDateTime("06-10-2023");

    DateTime FeesType1 = DateTime.ParseExact("06-10-2023", "dd-MM-yyyy", null);
    DateTime FeesType2 = DateTime.ParseExact("27-10-2023", "dd-MM-yyyy", null);
    DateTime FeesType3 = DateTime.ParseExact("16-11-2023", "dd-MM-yyyy", null);
    DateTime FeesType4 = DateTime.ParseExact("01-12-2023", "dd-MM-yyyy", null);

    if (TodayDate <= FeesType1)
    {
        FeesType = 1;
    }
    else if (TodayDate <= FeesType2)
    {
        FeesType = 2;
    }
    else if (TodayDate <= FeesType3)
    {
        FeesType = 3;
    }
    else if (TodayDate <= FeesType4 || TodayDate > FeesType4)
    {
        FeesType = 4;
    }

    return FeesType;
}

How to fix it?

>Solution :

FeesType1 is 2023-10-06T00:00:00.000
TodayDate was 2023-10-06T<something greater than 00:00:00>

hence TodayDate <= FeesType1 is in fact false.

If you do not care for the exact time, switch to using DateOnly or use DateTime.Date and the behavior should be correct.
