Get expiration date related on date

I need to calculate IsExpired in model if date is in past, but I need to check till 23: 59:59

So for example if expiry date is 2021-06-02 13:56:22 and today is 2021-06-03 13:56:22

Date will be expired

And if expiry date is 2021-06-03 13:56:22 and today is 2021-06-03 it will not be expired, because it's still not 2021-06-03

I wrote this code, but it's not working

 public bool IsExpired => ExpirationDate > DateTime.Parse(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().Trim() + " 23:59:59");

How I can make it work?

If you just want to have IsExpired be true if the day of expiration is before today, you probably just want this:

public bool IsExpired => ExpirationDate.Date < DateTime.Now.Date;

The .Date part zeroes the time, so we do it to both to ensure that it's at the start of the day for both.

Taking your example of 2021-06-03 13:56:22 and 2021-06-03 00:00:00, we'd end up with the following comparison:

2021-06-03 < 2021-06-03 = false // not expired

P.S. If you want to include today in "expired", then you should change < to <=.
