The datagridview is showing the appointments by week even if I check the month radio button
Dictionary<int, Hashtable> parsedAppointments = new Dictionary<int, Hashtable>();
// Adjusts appointments that will end up in calendar based on if the Week or Month view is chosen.
foreach (var appointment in appointments)
{
DateTime startTime = DateTime.Parse(appointment.Value["start"].ToString());
DateTime endTime = DateTime.Parse(appointment.Value["end"].ToString());
DateTime today = DateTime.UtcNow;
if (weekView)
{
DateTime sunday = today.AddDays(-(int)today.DayOfWeek);
DateTime saturday = today.AddDays(-(int)today.DayOfWeek + (int)DayOfWeek.Saturday);
if (startTime >= sunday && endTime < saturday)
{
// only include the apps that get here
parsedAppointments.Add(appointment.Key, appointment.Value);
}
}
else
{
DateTime firstDayOfMonth = new DateTime(today.Year, today.Month, 1);
DateTime lastDayOfMonth = firstDayOfMonth.AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);
if (startTime >= firstDayOfMonth && endTime < lastDayOfMonth)
{
// only include apps that get here
parsedAppointments.Add(appointment.Key, appointment.Value);
}
}
}
At the moment I have this code to return a table of all dates between 2 dates. How could I change this to have it only return the weekend dates.
The purpose of this is to use the weekend dates to check against column headers in a DataGridView to "grey-out" the weekends. I hope that's clear.
static public List<string> GetDates(DateTime start_date, DateTime end_date)
{
List<string> days_list = new List<string>();
for (DateTime date = start_date; date <= end_date; date = date.AddDays(1))
{
days_list.Add(date.ToShortDateString());
}
return days_list;
}
Use the DateTime.DayOfWeek property.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.datetime.dayofweek(v=vs.110).aspx
static public List<string> GetDates(DateTime start_date, DateTime end_date)
{
List<string> days_list = new List<string>();
for (DateTime date = start_date; date <= end_date; date = date.AddDays(1))
{
if (date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday || date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday)
days_list.Add(date.ToShortDateString());
}
return days_list;
You can create range of dates and then filter on them using DayOfWeek as #Vitor said:
static public List<DateTime> GetWeekendDates(DateTime start_date, DateTime end_date)
{
return Enumerable.Range(0, (int)((end_date- start_date).TotalDays) + 1)
.Select(n => StartDate.AddDays(n))
.Where(x=>x.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday
|| x.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
.ToList();
}
hope this solution will help you
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2011,3,1);
DateTime endDate = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan diff = endDate - startDate;
int days = diff.Days;
for (var i = 0; i <= days; i++)
{
var testDate = startDate.AddDays(i);
switch (testDate.DayOfWeek)
{
case DayOfWeek.Saturday:
case DayOfWeek.Sunday:
Console.WriteLine(testDate.ToShortDateString());
break;
}
}
in above code I am finding Saturday and Sunday between 1st March 2011 and today. So I have taken two variables called startDate and endDate. After that I have got difference between them and then via for loop I am checking that day of week is Saturday or Sunday
In C#,
How we are check certain date with in week dates?
Eg: 6/02/2014
Current Weeks: 02/02/2014 - 08/02/2014
so this dates are with in above week....
Use this for check (last parameter is optional if you want always 1 week from fromDate, you don't need use last parameter):
public static bool DateInside(DateTime checkDate,
DateTime fromDate, DateTime? lastDate = null)
{
DateTime toDate = lastDate != null ? lastDate.Value : fromDate.AddDays(6d);
return checkDate >= fromDate && checkDate <= toDate;
}
To call use:
bool isDateInside = DateInside(new DateTime(2014, 02, 06),
new DateTime(2014, 02, 02)); // return true
And search first :) Answer is also here: How to check whether C# DateTime is within a range
If you want to check if the dates are inside the same week, then you can use this:
public static bool DateInsideOneWeek(DateTime checkDate, DateTime referenceDate)
{
// get first day of week from your actual culture info,
DayOfWeek firstWeekDay = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek;
// or you can set exactly what you want: firstWeekDay = DayOfWeek.Monday;
// calculate first day of week from your reference date
DateTime startDateOfWeek = referenceDate;
while(startDateOfWeek.DayOfWeek != firstWeekDay)
{ startDateOfWeek = startDateOfWeek.AddDays(-1d); }
// fist day of week is find, then find last day of reference week
DateTime endDateOfWeek = startDateOfWeek.AddDays(6d);
// and check if checkDate is inside this period
return checkDate >= startDateOfWeek && checkDate <= endDateOfWeek;
}
Actual week in my culture info start with monday, February 3th 2014 (so for me is week between February 3th and February 9th). If I check any date with reference date (second parameter) as today (2014-Feb-06) I get this results:
For 2014-Feb-02 (Sunday before this week): false
For 2014-Feb-03 (Monday inside this week): true
For 2014-Feb-06 (Today inside this week): true
For 2014-Feb-09 (Sunday inside this week): true
For 2014-Feb-10 (Monday next week): false
You can call this method to check if one date is inside the same week as referentional like this:
DateInsideOneWeek(new DateTime(2014, 02, 02), new DateTime(2014, 02, 06));
You can find current week start and end dates with this code:
DateTime startDateOfWeek = DateTime.Now.Date; // start with actual date
while(startDateOfWeek.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Monday) // set first day of week in your country
{ startDateOfWeek = startDateOfWeek.AddDays(-1d); } // after this while loop you get first day of actual week
DateTime endDateOfWeek = startDateOfWeek.AddDays(6d); // you just find last week day
Is this you wanted?
hmm
public bool isBetween(DateTime input, DateTime date1, DateTime date2)
{
if (input > date1 && input < date2)
return true;
else
return false;
}
?
input= your date
date1 & date2 = start and end of a week
How about:
bool inRange = (date >= lowerDate && date <= upperDate);
Here's another solution :)
public static class DateExtensions
{
private static void Swap<T>(ref T one, ref T two)
{
var temp = one;
one = two;
two = temp;
}
public static bool IsFromSameWeek(this DateTime first, DateTime second, DayOfWeek firstDayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Monday)
{
// sort dates
if (first > second)
{
Swap(ref first, ref second);
}
var daysDiff = (second - first).TotalDays;
if (daysDiff >= 7)
{
return false;
}
const int TotalDaysInWeek = 7;
var adjustedDayOfWeekFirst = (int)first.DayOfWeek + (first.DayOfWeek < firstDayOfWeek ? TotalDaysInWeek : 0);
var adjustedDayOfWeekSecond = (int)second.DayOfWeek + (second.DayOfWeek < firstDayOfWeek ? TotalDaysInWeek : 0);
return adjustedDayOfWeekSecond >= adjustedDayOfWeekFirst;
}
}
Upd: it appears to have at least twice better performance than #Atiris solution :)
What I'm basically looking to do is monitor a period of time between 2 dates,
say 01/01/2011 to 04/04/2011.
I am then looking for a way to then compare 2 new dates, where if these new dates fall
between the above ones i can say assign a boolean a value and if they dont i wont.
so if 02/02/2011 to 03/03/2011 then assign the boolean wheras if outside then no.
??
You can just use normal compare operators with DateTime to do this.
For example
public bool Check(DateTime d1, DateTime d2)
{
DateTime StartDate = new DateTime(2011,1,1);
DateTime EndDate = new DateTime(2011,4,4);
return ((d1 >= StartDate && d1 <= EndDate) && (d2 >= StartDate && d2 <= EndDate));
}
This is a straight-forward as:
bool isInside = (testDate >= startDate && testDate <= endDate);
This example show how to check if a date is between two dates.
Code has been tested and works:
DateTime dtStart = new DateTime(2011, 02, 02);
DateTime dtEnd = new DateTime(2011, 03, 03);
if (DateTime.Now >= dtStart && DateTime.Now <= dtEnd)
{
// Date is within range
}
I'm not even sure how to do this without using some horrible for loop/counter type solution. Here's the problem:
I'm given two dates, a start date and an end date and on a specified interval I need to take some action. For example: for every date between 3/10/2009 on every third day until 3/26/2009 I need to create an entry in a List. So my inputs would be:
DateTime StartDate = "3/10/2009";
DateTime EndDate = "3/26/2009";
int DayInterval = 3;
and my output would be a list that has the following dates:
3/13/2009
3/16/2009
3/19/2009
3/22/2009
3/25/2009
So how the heck would I do something like this? I thought about using a for loop that would iterate between every day in the range with a separate counter like so:
int count = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
count++;
if(count >= DayInterval)
{
//take action
count = 0;
}
}
But it seems like there could be a better way?
Well, you'll need to loop over them one way or the other. I prefer defining a method like this:
public IEnumerable<DateTime> EachDay(DateTime from, DateTime thru)
{
for(var day = from.Date; day.Date <= thru.Date; day = day.AddDays(1))
yield return day;
}
Then you can use it like this:
foreach (DateTime day in EachDay(StartDate, EndDate))
// print it or whatever
In this manner you could hit every other day, every third day, only weekdays, etc. For example, to return every third day starting with the "start" date, you could just call AddDays(3) in the loop instead of AddDays(1).
I have a Range class in MiscUtil which you could find useful. Combined with the various extension methods, you could do:
foreach (DateTime date in StartDate.To(EndDate).ExcludeEnd()
.Step(DayInterval.Days())
{
// Do something with the date
}
(You may or may not want to exclude the end - I just thought I'd provide it as an example.)
This is basically a ready-rolled (and more general-purpose) form of mquander's solution.
For your example you can try
DateTime StartDate = new DateTime(2009, 3, 10);
DateTime EndDate = new DateTime(2009, 3, 26);
int DayInterval = 3;
List<DateTime> dateList = new List<DateTime>();
while (StartDate.AddDays(DayInterval) <= EndDate)
{
StartDate = StartDate.AddDays(DayInterval);
dateList.Add(StartDate);
}
Code from #mquander and #Yogurt The Wise used in extensions:
public static IEnumerable<DateTime> EachDay(DateTime from, DateTime thru)
{
for (var day = from.Date; day.Date <= thru.Date; day = day.AddDays(1))
yield return day;
}
public static IEnumerable<DateTime> EachMonth(DateTime from, DateTime thru)
{
for (var month = from.Date; month.Date <= thru.Date || month.Month == thru.Month; month = month.AddMonths(1))
yield return month;
}
public static IEnumerable<DateTime> EachDayTo(this DateTime dateFrom, DateTime dateTo)
{
return EachDay(dateFrom, dateTo);
}
public static IEnumerable<DateTime> EachMonthTo(this DateTime dateFrom, DateTime dateTo)
{
return EachMonth(dateFrom, dateTo);
}
1 Year later, may it help someone,
This version includes a predicate, to be more flexible.
Usage
var today = DateTime.UtcNow;
var birthday = new DateTime(2018, 01, 01);
Daily to my birthday
var toBirthday = today.RangeTo(birthday);
Monthly to my birthday, Step 2 months
var toBirthday = today.RangeTo(birthday, x => x.AddMonths(2));
Yearly to my birthday
var toBirthday = today.RangeTo(birthday, x => x.AddYears(1));
Use RangeFrom instead
// same result
var fromToday = birthday.RangeFrom(today);
var toBirthday = today.RangeTo(birthday);
Implementation
public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
public static IEnumerable<DateTime> RangeTo(this DateTime from, DateTime to, Func<DateTime, DateTime> step = null)
{
if (step == null)
{
step = x => x.AddDays(1);
}
while (from < to)
{
yield return from;
from = step(from);
}
}
public static IEnumerable<DateTime> RangeFrom(this DateTime to, DateTime from, Func<DateTime, DateTime> step = null)
{
return from.RangeTo(to, step);
}
}
Extras
You could throw an Exception if the fromDate > toDate, but I prefer to return an empty range instead []
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2009, 3, 10);
DateTime stopDate = new DateTime(2009, 3, 26);
int interval = 3;
for (DateTime dateTime=startDate;
dateTime < stopDate;
dateTime += TimeSpan.FromDays(interval))
{
}
DateTime begindate = Convert.ToDateTime("01/Jan/2018");
DateTime enddate = Convert.ToDateTime("12 Feb 2018");
while (begindate < enddate)
{
begindate= begindate.AddDays(1);
Console.WriteLine(begindate + " " + enddate);
}
According to the problem you can try this...
// looping between date range
while (startDate <= endDate)
{
//here will be your code block...
startDate = startDate.AddDays(1);
}
thanks......
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2009, 3, 10);
DateTime stopDate = new DateTime(2009, 3, 26);
int interval = 3;
while ((startDate = startDate.AddDays(interval)) <= stopDate)
{
// do your thing
}
Here are my 2 cents in 2020.
Enumerable.Range(0, (endDate - startDate).Days + 1)
.ToList()
.Select(a => startDate.AddDays(a));
You can use the DateTime.AddDays() function to add your DayInterval to the StartDate and check to make sure it is less than the EndDate.
You might consider writing an iterator instead, which allows you to use normal 'for' loop syntax like '++'. I searched and found a similar question answered here on StackOverflow which gives pointers on making DateTime iterable.
you have to be careful here not to miss the dates when in the loop a better solution would be.
this gives you the first date of startdate and use it in the loop before incrementing it and it will process all the dates including the last date of enddate hence <= enddate.
so the above answer is the correct one.
while (startdate <= enddate)
{
// do something with the startdate
startdate = startdate.adddays(interval);
}
you can use this.
DateTime dt0 = new DateTime(2009, 3, 10);
DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2009, 3, 26);
for (; dt0.Date <= dt1.Date; dt0=dt0.AddDays(3))
{
//Console.WriteLine(dt0.Date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));
//take action
}
Iterate every 15 minutes
DateTime startDate = DateTime.Parse("2018-06-24 06:00");
DateTime endDate = DateTime.Parse("2018-06-24 11:45");
while (startDate.AddMinutes(15) <= endDate)
{
Console.WriteLine(startDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"));
startDate = startDate.AddMinutes(15);
}
#jacob-sobus and #mquander and #Yogurt not exactly correct.. If I need the next day I wait 00:00 time mostly

If you convert your dates to OADate you can loop thru them as you would do with any double number.
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2022, 1, 1);
DateTime endDate = new DateTime(2022, 12, 31);
for (double loopDate = startDate.ToOADate(); loopDate <= endDate.ToOADate(); loopDate++)
{
DateTime selectedDate;
selectedDate = DateTime.FromOADate(loopDate);
}
