Split date range into date range chunks

Question

I am looking for a method of splitting a date range into a series of date ranges by chunk size of days. I am planning on using this to buffer calls to a service which if th

Answer 1

If you know how many chunks/intervals/periods/parts you want to split your time range into, I've found the following to be helpful

You can use the DateTime.Ticks property to define your intervals, and then create a series of DateTime objects based on your defined interval:

IEnumerable DivideTimeRangeIntoIntervals(DateTime startTS, DateTime endTS, int numberOfIntervals)
{
    long startTSInTicks = startTS.Ticks;
    long endTsInTicks = endTS.Ticks;
    long tickSpan = endTS.Ticks - startTS.Ticks;
    long tickInterval = tickSpan / numberOfIntervals;

    List listOfDates = new List();
    for (long i = startTSInTicks; i <= endTsInTicks; i += tickInterval)
    {
        listOfDates.Add(new DateTime(i));
    }
    return listOfDates;
}

You can convert that listOfDates into however you want to represent a timerange (a tuple, a dedicated date range object, etc). You can also modify this function to directly return it in the form you need it.
