Hi everyone, can i check with you, if i want to compare time... how can i do that... i have the following code

time_One = Now
el_Time = time_One - time_Two
Label1.Text = Now.ToShortTimeString
If Label1.Text < "06:30:00 PM" Then
Label1.Text = "-----"
Else
Label1.Text = el_Time.ToString
End If

Dim now = DateTime.Now
Dim date1 = New DateTime(now. Year, now.Month, now.Day, 18, 30, 0)
If now < date1 Then
    'it's before 18.30
End If
