Answer 1

LINQ:

Enumerable.Range(0, 1 + end.Subtract(start).Days)
          .Select(offset => start.AddDays(offset))
          .ToArray(); 

For loop:

var dates = new List<DateTime>();

for (var dt = start; dt <= end; dt = dt.AddDays(1))
{
   dates.Add(dt);
}

EDIT: As for padding values with defaults in a time-series, you could enumerate all the dates in the full date-range, and pick the value for a date directly from the series if it exists, or the default otherwise. For example:

var paddedSeries = fullDates.ToDictionary(date => date, date => timeSeries.ContainsDate(date) 
                                               ? timeSeries[date] : defaultValue);
