Keep in simple when you can (like above). But if you need to support a time range which spans local midnight, structure it like this (from a function wich receives Time[0] as a parameter named '_now', and returns a boolean as to if we're in the timespan):

Code

TimeSpan now = _now.TimeOfDay;
 
if ( startTime.CompareTo(endTime) < 0 ) { // Time range is intra-day
   if ( now.CompareTo(startTime) > 0
     && now.CompareTo(endTime) <= 0 )
   returntrue;
}
else                                      // Time range spans midnight
if ( now.CompareTo(startTime) > 0
  || now.CompareTo(endTime) <= 0 )
   returntrue;

returnfalse;
