DateTime Round Up and Down
Here is a fast way to truncate (round down)
var now = DateTime.Now;
var nowTicks = now.Ticks;
//removing the nanoseconds, miliseconds, and seconds from the nowTicks
var lastMinute = new DateTime(nowTicks - (nowTicks % (1000*1000*10*60)));
This will let you round according to any interval given.
public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
public static DateTime Floor(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan interval)
{
return dateTime.AddTicks(-(dateTime.Ticks % interval.Ticks));
}
public static DateTime Ceiling(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan interval)
{
var overflow = dateTime.Ticks % interval.Ticks;
return overflow == 0 ? dateTime : dateTime.AddTicks(interval.Ticks - overflow);
}
public static DateTime Round(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan interval)
{
var halfIntervalTicks = (interval.Ticks + 1) >> 1;
return dateTime.AddTicks(halfIntervalTicks - ((dateTime.Ticks + halfIntervalTicks) % interval.Ticks));
}
}
To take care of truncating the seconds, I would simply subtract the seconds and milliseconds from the date-time before sending them into the rounding functions.
How about:
case RoundingDirection.Up:
t = dt.AddMinutes((60 - dt.Minute) % 10);
case RoundingDirection.Down:
t = dt.AddMinutes(-dt.Minute % 10);
