Comparisons of Domains to test for overlap

Hi All,

I would like to compare two domains to see if there is an overlap of the ranges.

For example:

Domain One: 1 to 10

Domain Two: 9 to 15

Overlap = True

Is there any component that can help me achieve this?

Many thanks

Luke

I would start with the Domain Includes component and test for inclusion of the domain components. Depending on the situation you might need to adjust the data tree management a bit.

Since you posted this in the C#/VB forum, you can use the static method on Interval to create an interval that is the intersection of two existing intervals. If this method returns an invalid interval, the two did not intersect.

Dim intX As Interval = Interval.FromIntersection(intA, intB)

If (intX.IsValid) Then 'intA and intB intersect
