I am having errors with variables. I am trying to get the dates between two date

Question

I am having errors with variables. I am trying to get the dates between two datetimepicker values and then put them in a return alldates list. i would like the alldates to be in string format.

   string earliestdate = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
string latestdate = dateTimePicker2.Value.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
            DateTime earliestDate = DateTime.ParseExact(earliestdate, "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
            DateTime latestDate = DateTime.ParseExact(latestdate, "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

            List<DateTime> dateList = DatesBetween(earliestDate, latestDate);

            List<DateTime> DatesBetween( earliestDate, DateTime latestDate)
            {
                List<DateTime> allDates = new List<DateTime>();

                for (DateTime date = earliestdate; date <= latestdate; date = date.AddDays(1))
                    allDates.Add(date);

                return allDates;
            }

Explanation / Answer

If you want to fetch only the Date Values in aprticular format from the DateTimePicker, then do the following:-

// Get the Date value from datetimepicker1 and convert it to the format "yyyMMdd"

// Get the Date value from datetimepicker2 and convert it to the format "yyyMMdd"

string latestdate = dateTimePicker2.Value.Date.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

// Extract the date which is converted to the format "yyyMMdd"

// Extract the date which is converted to the format "yyyMMdd"

DateTime latestDate = DateTime.ParseExact(latestdate, "yyyyMMdd", null);

  return allDates;

}

Please let me know in case of any clarifications required. Thanks!
