Question

I’m looking to find out the most efficient pseudo-code in order to achieve the following conditions:

• I have an “event” which has a start and an end date (S1, S2)
• I am try to find out if this even occurs within a specific time-frame (D1, D2)
• If the event only lasts for one day, it will not have an end date
• I only want one occurrence of the event in the query.

If anybody is able to assist with tbe psuedo code behind such a query, I’d be grateful.

It’s for use within a LINQ query.

Answer 1

To check if the event over laps a specific time frame use

Event.Start < TimeFrame.End && (Event.End == null) ? Event.Start.AddDays(1) : Event.End > TimeFrame.Start
