How to get the start and end times of a day
I am surprised to see how an incorrect answer received so many upvotes:
The correct version would be as follows:
public static DateTime StartOfDay(this DateTime theDate)
{
return theDate.Date;
}
public static DateTime EndOfDay(this DateTime theDate)
{
return theDate.Date.AddDays(1).AddTicks(-1);
}
You could define two extension methods somewhere, in a utility class like so :
public static DateTime EndOfDay(this DateTime date)
{
return new DateTime(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day, 23, 59, 59, 999);
}
public static DateTime StartOfDay(this DateTime date)
{
return new DateTime(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day, 0, 0, 0, 0);
}
And then use them in code like so :
public DoSomething()
{
DateTime endOfThisDay = DateTime.Now.EndOfDay();
}
