Question

Is is possible to do this in SQL in Linq to SQL?

Select field from table where date between '2010-01-01' and '2010-01-31';

I realize I could do:

where (monthBeginDate < a.StopDateActual && a.StopDateActual < monthEndDate)

But I was curious if I could do the former. I have a bad habit of screwing up the less than and greater than on statements like that.

Nope, that’s the way to do it. C# does not have a between operator I believe.

You could always cheat and write an extension method like I do:

public static bool BetweenDates (this DateTime checker, DateTime floor, DateTime ceiling)
{
    return (checker <= ceiling) && (checker >= floor);
}

Then you can do this 😉

.Where(s => s.StopDateActual.BetweenDates(monthBeginDate, monthEndDate));
