This code shows you how to find the difference between two DateTime values. The easiest way to do this is to use the TimeSpan class and subtract one DateTime from another.
DateTime firstDate = new DateTime(2008, 8, 1);
DateTime secondDate = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan timeSpan = secondDate.Subtract(firstDate);
// Get Difference
Console.WriteLine("Days : " + timeSpan.Days.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Hours : " + timeSpan.Hours.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Minutes : " + timeSpan.Minutes.ToString());
// Get Total Hours
Console.WriteLine("Total Hours " + timeSpan.TotalHours.ToString());
Here is the output.
Note the difference between Hours and TotalHours.
