Describe a series of dates

[scichelli]

Given a description like "second and fourth Thursdays," I could get the next date in the series, or a collection of the next n dates in the series.

Would the API look something like this:

var startDate = new Date(DateTime.Now);
var datesInSeries = startDate.GetSeries("second and fourth Thursdays");

Or something else @scichelli?

[scichelli]

I was imagining:
Date nextDate = startDate.GetNext("second and fourth Thursdays");

and
IEnumerable nextDates = startDate.GetNext("second and fourth Thursdays", 10);

Although... with a "yield return", can you get away with not providing the int parameter, and have it act like an infinite series? Just don't call .Count() on it. :T

Ok, I like that. Is .GetNext() an extension method on .Net's DateTime?

[scichelli]

Or a method on the TempusReader.Date class?

[ChrisMissal]

I think that's a better start since the API is already based on the TempusReader.Time and TempusReader.Date classes.
