Entirely redundant C# 2.0 code

private static IEnumerable< int> Range ( int start, int end )
{
    for (  int i = start; i != end; i = (start > end ) ? i - 1 : i + 1 )
    {
        yield  return i;
    }
    yield return end;
}

private void  PopulateDaysDropDown ( )
{
    foreach ( int day in Range ( 1 ,  31 ) )
    {
        DateOfBirthDay.Items.Add ( day.ToString ( ) );
    }
}

The only benefit of this is Range accepts start > end, so I could equally well do

foreach ( int day in Range ( 31, 1 ) ) {  //... }

I'm determined to find a valid use for yield return somewhere!
