Hi everybody,

I'm wondering is there a way to check wither a dateTime is selected within particular period.

Let me give a e.g:

suppose I've
date1 = "07/18/2010 08:00"
date2 = "07/18/2010 10:30"

date1 and date2 represent a period of time from 8 to 10 in 18/07.

I want to check that the new entered period date3 and date4 are not intersecting the period above.

e.g.
date3 = "07/18/2010 07:00"
date4 = "07/18/2010 011:00"

I'm working on asp.net VB.NET

Could PLZ hint me how to solve it?

If you are going to check this at the time of inserting row in database then you can check it by firing SQL query and see if it's returning any row that means you can't insert those newly (date3, date4) in database. your select query looks like below

Select * from yourtable where StartDate >= date3 and EndDate <= date4

try this and let us know :-)
