[/code]
I had this idea that maybe I could use a switch case statement in the main loop to optimize the program a bit. I was thinking of doing a switch case for the days of the week (1=Sunday), something like this:
*_</em></em> <em><em><em>*switch(luleaTime.DayOfWeek(theTime)){ case 1: //Sunday //check time and sunset crieria for the day here, then run a function maybe? break; case 2 ... 5: //Monday-Thursday break; case 6: //Friday break; case 7: //Saturday break; }*</em></em></em> <em><em>_*
But this seems moot as I still need my different criterias for lights on/off depending on sunrise/sunset on the specific day. I feel a bit like I'm getting blind with my solution here, so any input appreciated on improving/simplifying the code is welcome
