Compare date to a given date

In one of the projects I was working on, I had to compare the current date to a date in future and disable a section(panel) of the aspx. page. This can be done with the code below.

DateTime oFixedDate = new DateTime(2012,7,15);//Constant Date.
Console.WriteLine("Fixed DateTime:" + oFixedDate.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Today DateTime:" + DateTime.Now.ToString()); 
            
if (DateTime.Now.CompareTo(oFixedDate) > 0)
       Console.WriteLine("Today is greater than the fixed date");
else if (DateTime.Now.CompareTo(oFixedDate) == 0)
       Console.WriteLine("Today is equal to the fixed date");
else
       Console.WriteLine("Today is less than the fixed date");

Output:

After changing the fixed date to 
DateTime oFixedDate = new DateTime(2012,7,17);
