List Items greater than or equal to current datetime

Using Umbraco 7
I'm sure this has to be a simple syntax problem but I just can't seem to get it working. I'm simply pulling a list of events and want to leave off any events occuring in the past. This is on a partial view macro file:
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
```
@if (Model.MacroParameters["startNodeID"] != null) { @* Get the start node as a dynamic node *@ var startNode = Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["startNodeID"]);
```
if (startNode.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
{
```
Upcoming Training
@foreach (var page in startNode.Children.Where("Visible").OrderBy("startdate")) {
@page.Name
@page.startdate.ToString("F")
}
```
}    
```
}

I was hoping I could add some logic to the foreach loop but can't crack the syntax and can't find a good example online. If anyone could help out or point me in the right direction.

thanks

Looks like the markdown editor jacked with the code. the part I was looking into was the foreach loop
```
@foreach (var page in startNode.Children.Where("Visible").OrderBy("startdate"))
```
How do i add another where statement saying that startdate needs to be greater than or equal to the current datetime

thanks

Hi Brian,

Have you tried something like this:
```
DateTime today = DateTime.Now;

@foreach(var page in startNode.Children.Where("Visible").Where("startdate >= today").OrderBy("startdate")){

}
```
Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Very nearly Dennis,

I think it needs to be like this
```
DateTime today = DateTime.Now;

@foreach(var page in startNode.Children.Where("Visible").Where("startdate >= @0", today).OrderBy("startdate")){

}
```
