DateTime compare (between) Date with day month year hours minutes and seconds

Question

I would to check if a date fall between two limites.

StartDate = '2018-01-01 11:10:00' EndDate = '2018-02-01 14:00:30'

I tried the following check:

CheckDateX >= StartDate && CheckDateX <= EndDate;

This doesn't seems to take the seconds into account. So I tried the following check:

 CheckDateX.Ticks >= StartDate.Ticks  && CheckDateX.Ticks <= EndDate.Ticks;

But the result is also wrong. Is there a correct and elegant way to compare to DateTime in C#?

You should share the actual code `StartDate = '2018-01-01 11:10:00' ` wont compile and is not a date — Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp, May 08 '19 at 15:55
@NatPongjardenlarp : I have not put the entire code.... you need to parse it first. It was more to add more details to my question. — pix, May 08 '19 at 16:09

@pix check my answer for getting build time configuration from code. Somehow your question is removed because of duplicate but actually you can do it thru code. I dont have any other way to reach you. i will delete this comment after you read it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/829276/how-to-obtain-build-configuration-at-runtime/56295835#56295835 – Jeeva Subburaj May 24 '19 at 16:12
Thx @JeevaSubburaj, my post as been deleted because the community requested it. This is really close to want I wanna do, but not enaught. I do not want to have to hard code anything. The best think would be to list all the preprocessor values inside a List variable. I really appreciate your concerne on this question :) – pix May 27 '19 at 06:23
