You might want to check this CodeProject article: Time Period Library for .NET, specifically the TimeGapCalculator
example.
C# TimeSpan with Exclusions
Question
I know this is probably not possible but off hand does anyone know if there are any shortcuts or mechanisms within .NET to allow me to do this.
I have a 'Diary'
9AM - 5PM
Inside this diary I have events or 'Appointments'
10AM - 12PM - Appointment 1
1PM - 1:30PM - Appointment 2
What I am asking for is there a tool that I can invert the diary to give me free spaces outside of these Appointments.
E.g. It would return me a list of
9AM - 10AM
12PM - 1PM
1:30PM - 5PM
So that I can then use within my program.
Any Ideas?
Solution
OTHER TIPS
Yes there is! I highly suggest using this free library from the CodeProject called TimePeriod.
This library will handle
Doesn't seem that hard to implement yourself:
- Sort the diary appointments by start date.
- One free period from start diary > first appointment
- One free period from last appointment > end diary
- Iterate the appointments and each period in between is a free period
