Check if datetime instance falls in between other two datetime objects

Question

I would like to know a simple algorithm to check if the given instance of datetime lies between another two instances in C   Note  I skimmed though this How do I check if a given datetime object is  quot between quot  two datetimes  and it was for python and many more for php  Most of the other questions were regarding difference between the two  Details  I am more specific about the time  date does not matter to me  For example i got DataBase entry for a staff who works between 10 00 Am - 9 00 Pm and I would like to know which staff is engaged in class at the given time like 2 00 Pm  Now this would return me the staff s details who are engaged at this time  Edit After accepting the answer been more than year back   i realized i had incorrectly described the problem  But all i think that was to be done back then was to do date and time comparison  So answers by both Jason and VikciaR work

DateTime Ticks will account for the time  Use  Ticks on the DateTime to convert your dates into longs  Then just use a simple if stmt to see if your target date falls between      Assuming you know d2  gt  d1 if  targetDt Ticks  gt  d1 Ticks  amp  amp  targetDt Ticks  lt  d2 Ticks           targetDt is in between d1 and d2
