this seems really awkward …does anybody have any suggestions for a cleaner approach?

  bool case1 = (dte.StartDateTime >= Date) && (dte.StartDateTime < Date.AddHours(_interval));
  bool case2 = (dte.EndDateTime > Date) && (dte.EndDateTime < Date.AddHours(_interval));
  bool case3 = (dte.StartDateTime <= Date) && (dte.EndDateTime >= Date.AddHours(_interval));
  return ((dte.Association == Association) && (case1 | case2 | case3));

    Well,

    // this seems to rule out everything
if(dte.Association != Association) return false;
// find end
var endInterval = Date.AddHours(_interval);

return ((dte.StartDateTime >= Date) && (dte.StartDateTime < endInterval))
    || ((dte.EndDateTime > Date) && (dte.EndDateTime < endInterval))
    || ((dte.StartDateTime <= Date) && (dte.EndDateTime >= endInterval));

    This is then short-circuited, and we only find the end date once.
