and if you don't want nested switch - still 9 possibilities

			DateTime startTime = new DateTime();
			DateTime endTime = new DateTime();
			DateTime defaultDate = new DateTime();

			switch (Math.Sign(startTime.CompareTo(defaultDate)) * 3 + Math.Sign(endTime.CompareTo(defaultDate)))
			{
					// -3 + (-1, 0 or 1)
				case -4:	// startTime < defaultDate && endTime < defaultDate
					break;
				case -3:	// startTime < defaultDate && endTime== defaultDate
					break;
				case -2:	// startTime < defaultDate && endTime > defaultDate
					break;
				// 0 +  (-1, 0 or 1)
				case -1:	// startTime == defaultDate && endTime < defaultDate
					break;
				case 0:	// startTime == defaultDate && endTime == defaultDate
					break;
				case 1:		// startTime == defaultDate && endTime > defaultDate
					break;
				// 3 +  (-1, 0 or 1)
				case 2:		// startTime > defaultDate && endTime < defaultDate
					break;
				case 3:	// startTime > defaultDate && endTime == defaultDate
					break;
				case 4:	// startTime > defaultDate && endTime > defaultDate
					break;
				default:	
					throw new Exception("program error");
