Code: Determining the Span Between Two Dates (Visual C#)
Visual Studio .NET 2003
This example calculates the difference in days between two dates and constructs a TimeSpan value for that difference.
Example
DateTime oldDate = new DateTime(2002,7,15);
DateTime newDate = DateTime.Now;
// Difference in days, hours, and minutes.
TimeSpan ts = newDate - oldDate;
// Difference in days.
int differenceInDays = ts.Days;
Console.WriteLine("Difference in days: {0} ", differenceInDays);
Compiling the Code
Copy the code and paste it into the Main method of a console application.
