Question

I am using two dateTimePicker’s, and lets say I’ve chosen 11-11-2011 on the first, and 17-11-2011 on the last. Now I want to get the dates between these two dates. I just want to get a result like this:

11-11-2011 
12-11-2011 
13-11-2011 
14-11-2011 
15-11-2011 
16-11-2011 
17-11-2011 

How am I supposed to do this ?

I’ve tried to make it out from the question by James Hill, but couldnt figure it out.
Thanks,

Give this a try:

DateTime start = DateTime.Today;
DateTime end = DateTime.Today.AddDays(7);

for (DateTime current = start; current <= end; current = current.AddDays(1))
{
    Console.WriteLine(current);
}

I like using a for-loop for this kind of stuff, since I do often miss them in modern .NET projects 🙂

A possible helper method:

static IEnumerable<DateTime> GetRange(DateTime start, DateTime end)
{
    for (DateTime current = start; current <= end; current = current.AddDays(1))
    {
        yield return current;
    }
}

Important If you have a time-portion as well, the condition must be changed to current.Date <= end.Date

Edit Changed so that the boundaries are included, I previously only provided the dates in-between.
