简单的解决方案：

compare the two dates: 
    A = the one with smaller start date, B = the one with bigger start date
if(A.end < B.start)
    return false
return true

我遇到过这样的情况，我们有日期而不是日期时间，并且日期只能在开始/结束时重叠。示例如下：

（绿色是当前间隔，蓝色块是有效间隔，红色块是重叠间隔）。

我将Ian Nelson的答案改编为以下解决方案：

   (startB <= startA && endB > startA)
|| (startB >= startA && startB < endA)

这匹配所有重叠情况，但忽略允许的重叠情况。

这里有一个可以在本地使用的通用方法。

    // Takes a list and returns all records that have overlapping time ranges.
    public static IEnumerable<T> GetOverlappedTimes<T>(IEnumerable<T> list, Func<T, bool> filter, Func<T,DateTime> start, Func<T, DateTime> end)
    {
        // Selects all records that match filter() on left side and returns all records on right side that overlap.
        var overlap = from t1 in list
                      where filter(t1)
                      from t2 in list
                      where !object.Equals(t1, t2) // Don't match the same record on right side.
                      let in1 = start(t1)
                      let out1 = end(t1)
                      let in2 = start(t2)
                      let out2 = end(t2)
                      where in1 <= out2 && out1 >= in2
                      let totover = GetMins(in1, out1, in2, out2)
                      select t2;

        return overlap;
    }

    public static void TestOverlap()
    {
        var tl1 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 1:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 4:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl2 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 2, Name = "John", In = "1/1/08 5:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 6:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl3 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 3, Name = "Lisa", In = "1/1/08 7:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 9:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl4 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 4, Name = "Joe", In = "1/1/08 3:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl5 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 8:01pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var list = new List<TempTimeEntry>() { tl1, tl2, tl3, tl4, tl5 };
        var overlap = GetOverlappedTimes(list, (TempTimeEntry t1)=>t1.ID==1, (TempTimeEntry tIn) => tIn.In, (TempTimeEntry tOut) => tOut.Out);

        Console.WriteLine("\nRecords overlap:");
        foreach (var tl in overlap)
            Console.WriteLine("Name:{0} T1In:{1} T1Out:{2}", tl.Name, tl.In, tl.Out);
        Console.WriteLine("Done");

        /*  Output:
            Records overlap:
            Name:Joe T1In:1/1/2008 3:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 8:00:00 PM
            Name:Lisa T1In:1/1/2008 7:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 9:00:00 PM
            Done
         */
    }

这里是我的简化。假设时间间隔

       | |
     | |

不要重叠，xa<xb和ya<yb可以简化处理。上述条件可以简单检查。然后你会得到

      ya       yb
      |--------|
xa |--|xb
   |----|
         |----|
ya > xa => return ya - xa < xb - xa
else    => return xa < yb

正如您可能注意到的，第二个间隔仅在xa>=ya的情况下相关。

只要有简单的解决方案，仅仅使用额外的包来做简单的事情可能效率不高。但是，如果您已经在项目中使用了日期fns，那么有一个名为areIntervalsOverlapping的方法也会执行同样的操作。

语法：

areIntervalsOverlapping(intervalLeft, intervalRight, [options])

例子：

// For overlapping time intervals:
areIntervalsOverlapping(
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 10), end: new Date(2014, 0, 20) },
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 17), end: new Date(2014, 0, 21) }
)
//=> true

我会的

StartDate1.IsBetween(StartDate2, EndDate2) || EndDate1.IsBetween(StartDate2, EndDate2)

IsBetween是这样的

    public static bool IsBetween(this DateTime value, DateTime left, DateTime right) {
        return (value > left && value < right) || (value < left && value > right);
    }
