Outlook "like" Date Groupings

[pgraeve]

I am just looking a good C# example of grouping a list of data by "Date Groups" like Microsoft does in Outlook 2003 Inbox where e-mail is grouped by "date terms" like "Today", "Yesterday", "Tomorrow", "Two Weeks Ago" etc... I started embarking on this code myself but it got complicated quickly so I thought someone smarter than me must have already tackled this one and posted a good article on how to do it somewhere - anyone know of one??? Thanks in advance!!!

If you're willing to wait for .net 2 then ListView has grouping ability in there.

Actually doing the "groups" in the ListView is not a problem (I am using Infragistics Grid Control and grouping by dates is easy…) but what I need is the function which accepts in a date, and returns a string for "Yesterday", "Tomorrow", "Last Month", etc... I know it sounds easy, but it gets pretty complicated quickly to do it right and take into account all the possibilities. For example, on the first day of the month, if you send the function yesterday’s date, the function needs to return "Yesterday" not last month. Same thing for first day of the year etc… Anyway, whenever I run into something even slightly complicated, I always figure someone smarter than me has already written some very elegant and efficient code to handle it! MS has this code for Outlook, just wondered if anyone had replicated it in a good C# example.
