Regular DateTime question

Question

I'm writing a service but I want to have config settings to make sure that the service does not run within a certain time window on one day of the week. eg Mondays between 17:00 and 19:00.

Is it possible to create a datetime that represents any monday so I can have one App config key for DontProcessStartTime and one for DontProcessEndTime with a values like "Monday 17:00" and "Monday 19:00"?

Otherwise I assume I'll have to have separate keys for the day and time for start and end of the time window.

Any thoughts?

thanks

You could use a utility that will parse your weekday text into a System.DayOfWeek enumeration, example here. You can then use the Enum in a comparison against the DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek
