So I have this program for assigning people to projects. In my database I already have some samples projects with assigned employees. I have to be able to cross match my current project’s start and end date to the projects that the employee is assigned too.

I can’t do it like 

if (this_StartDate == assignedProj_StartDate || this_EndDate == assignedProj_EndDate)

because that would only match the exact dates.

I need to be able to mark the employee available if this_StartDate & this_EndDate is not within the period of the assigned project to him. Help?

    It sounds like you want to check whether the the this range is outside of the assignedProj range:

    if (this_StartDate > assignedProj_EndDate 
 || this_EndDate < assignedProj_StartDate)

    This assumes that both ranges are valid (end > start)
