What you have is a little off:

(hours >= 06 && minutes > 28)

Will return false at 7:01. You see why? Because minutes is not greater than
28... it's 1. Now, the easiest way to do this is probably to use minutes only.

if (minutes > ((6 * 60) + 28) && minutes < ((9 * 60) + 30))
{
...
}


It might be even easier (depending on how you're getting the date/time) to use
milliseconds.


HTH,
