how is checking dates in C#

Question

Answer 1

You can just use the standard <, >, >= and <= operators:

if( someDate >= date1 && someDate <= date2 )
{
}

And, you can make your own extension method for it:

public static class DateExtensions
{
    public static bool Between( this DateTime d, DateTime start, DateTime end )
    {
        return d >= start && d <= end;
    }
}

Which you can use like this:

DateTime someDate = new DateTime (2012, 5, 6);

if( someDate.Between (date1, date2) )
{
    ...
}
