DateTime::Subtract Method (DateTime)

Subtracts the specified date and time from this instance.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

Parameters

value
Type: System::DateTime
The date and time to subtract.

Return Value

Type: System::TimeSpan
A time interval that is equal to the date and time represented by this instance minus the date and time represented by value.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The result is less than DateTime::MinValue or greater than DateTime::MaxValue.

If the date and time of the current instance is earlier than value, the method returns a TimeSpan object that represents a negative time span. That is, the value of all of its non-zero properties (such as Days or Ticks) is negative.

The Subtract(DateTime) method does not consider the value of the Kind property of the two DateTime values when performing the subtraction. Before subtracting DateTime objects, ensure that the objects represent times in the same time zone. Otherwise, the result will include the difference between time zones.

NoteNote:

The DateTimeOffset::Subtract(DateTimeOffset) method does consider the difference between time zones when performing the subtraction.

The following example demonstrates the Subtract method and the subtraction operator.
