Question

How do I return a list of dates to the nearest minute. I need the linq query to return only dates the match the passed date to the nearest 3 minutes

return EntitySet.Count(f => f.VISITDATE == dt.Date);

I use the code like this usually:

 if((date2 - date1).Minutes <= 3) {
                Console.WriteLine("Do not add again!!");
            }

Answer 1

var result = EntitySet.Where(item => Math.Abs((item.VISITDATE - dt.Date).TotalMinutes) <= 3);
