Determine if a Date is BETWEEN a date range.

[=?Utf-8?B?TWlrZQ==?=]

Hi. In my VB.NET application I need to identify whether or not a user-input
date falls in between certain date ranges. For example, If I know my date
range is 4/1/2008 - 5/1/2008, and a user inputs 4/3/2008, I would need a
boolean TRUE indicating that the input date falls between date ranges.

I know I could do greater than/less than comparisons, but I want to check if
there's a simpler way to accomplish this.

Thank you.

I don't see why this way is not simple enough.

Using greater than & less than is only one line of code, how much simpler can
it get??
