Hello to all.
I add the following code into view as > custom option. The field is a date format.

string color;
DateTime rightNow = DateTime.Now;
if (value >  rightNow) {  
color="black";   
}else {   
color="red";   
}  
value="<span style='color: " + color + "'>" + value.ToString() + "</span>"; 

I get this error

include\CustomExpressions.cs(24,30): error CS1955: Non-invocable member 'System.DateTime.Now' cannot be used like a method.
include\CustomExpressions.cs(25,5): error CS0019: Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'runnerDotNet.XVar' and 'System.DateTime'

Try converting value to a DateTime variable before doing the comparison:

string color;
DateTime rightNow = DateTime.Now;
DateTime MyValue = DateTime.Parse(value);
if (MyValue>  rightNow) {  
color="black";   
}else {   
color="red";   
}  
value="<span style='color: " + color + "'>" + value.ToString() + "</span>";

That works just fine.
Thanks a lot.
