I have two arguments coming in that are strings the if condition is written
string.IsNullOrEmpty(in_Verity_Date) = in_EFF_Date but I get an error of no disallows implicit conversions

the in_verity_Date can have nulls or be empty the other argument will always have a date. What am I missing?

Hey @jeff.shubzda

Try the below please,

String.IsNullOrEmpty(in_Verity_Date) or in_Verify_Date.Equals(in_EFF_Date)

Since you said it’s a date, better to convert it to date before comparison of the format is known

Thanks

It should be like below.

     string.IsNullOrEmpty(in_Verity_Date) Or in_Verity_Date = in_EFF_Date

@jeff.shubzda Try the below one

string.IsNullOrEmpty(in_Verity_Date).equals(in_EFF_Date)
5

This returns true or false, boolean values.

This would only work if in_EFF_Date is boolean.

This is close, but if in_Verity_Date and in_EFF_Date are strings, the comparison isn’t going to be reliable.

string.IsNullOrEmpty(in_Verity_Date) Or datetime.Parse(in_Verity_Date) = datetime.Parse(in_EFF_Date)

…will compare them as actual datetimes. This assumes both strings are in the system datetime format. If not, ParseExact would need to be used.
