[Solved] Validating School Year [closed]

by


Assuming that 2013-2014 is a valid format, this might be a function that works:

public static bool IsSchoolYearFormat(string format, int minYear, int maxYear)
{
    string[] parts = format.Trim().Split(new[] { '-' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
    if (parts.Length == 2)
    {
        int fromYear; int toYear;
        if (int.TryParse(parts[0], out fromYear) && int.TryParse(parts[1], out toYear))
        {
            if (fromYear >= minYear && toYear <= maxYear && fromYear + 1 == toYear)
                return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
