Date Time comparison

[ultraman]

Hi ! I'm trying to get the difference between Now() and a date from my DB in minutes. I tried lots o stuff, but nothing works.

 

Here's my latest :

 

dtStart = DateTime.Parse(strOutDate);  //from the DB
dtEnd = DateTime.Parse(strDateTimeNow);  //Now()
TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(dtStart.Ticks - dtEnd.Ticks);
intTimeBetwCurrAndPrev = int.Parse(ts.TotalMinutes.ToString());

 

The problem is that when the date is Parsed in the dtStart, the format is wrong and it only takes the date, not the time...

 

Anybody have an idea ?

Have you tried just subtracting the dates

dtStart = DateTime.Parse(strOutDate);  //from the DB
dtEnd = DateTime.Parse(strDateTimeNow);  //Now()
TimeSpan ts = dtEnd - dtStart;
intTimeBetwCurrAndPrev = int.Parse(ts.TotalMinutes.ToString());
