How to select all the days of the week from a given day? - sql

Question

Given a date I want to get all the other days of that same week, where in the week starts and ends on Saturday and Friday.
Model
public TimeModel
{
public int ID
public DateTime Day
}
What I'm currently doing
public Contrller{
private db = new ModelContext();
public AddDates(DateTime Date)
{
List<Model> list = new List<Model>();
int n = 0;
while(Date.DayofWeek != DayofWeek.Sauturday)
Date = Date.AddDats(-1) // keep subracting the date until I reach Saturday
while(Date.DayofWeek != DayofWeek.Friday
{
list.Add(Find(Date));
//Simply put for each date not Friday
// I find the corresponding model (the one with the same date)
//and add it to the list
Date = Date.AddDays(1)
}
list.Add(Find(Date)); // To add the Friday date to list
}
Note: Not exactly my code, just a simplification of my problem.
To summarize my solution:
a) Subtract given date until Saturday
b) Find model which corresponds to Date
c) Repeat until I reach Friday
d) Add to list once more to include Friday
Is it possible to create a linq/sql statement to simpyly select the needed models (with regards to Date)?

Answer 1

You can find a sample implementation that gets the current week.
List<TimeModel> list = new List<TimeModel>();
int n = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
list.Add(new TimeModel{ID = i, Day = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-i)});
var currentDay = new TimeModel() {ID = 0, Day = DateTime.Now};
var previousSaturday = currentDay.Day.AddDays(-(int)currentDay.Day.DayOfWeek - 1);
var nextFriday = previousSaturday.AddDays(6);
var currentWeek = list.Where(p => p.Day.DayOfYear >= previousSaturday.DayOfYear && p.Day.DayOfYear <= nextFriday.DayOfYear).OrderBy(p => p.Day.DayOfYear).ToList();
