DateTimePicker Differences in numbers of days problem

[PlayKid]

Dear all,

 

I am trying to calculate the difference between 2 DateTimePickers' values, and I am unable to calculate the differences in numbers of days, it is fine if they both within the same month, but if the month is changed, the problem arise, it just calculated the differences in day and not the month part.

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thank you very much

TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - DateTime.MinValue;

MessageBox.Show(ts.TotalDays.ToString());

 

or, even simpler:

 

MessageBox.Show((DateTime.Now - DateTime.MinValue).TotalDays.ToString());

I tried your method, but it doesn't work, I am using VB.Net.

What didn't work about it?

Dim ts as TimeSpan = DateTime.Now  - DateTime.MinValue
MessageBox.Show(ts.TotalDays.ToString())

Does that work then?

Here is my code:

   Private Sub DateReturnTP_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DateReturnTP.ValueChanged
       Dim Difference As TimeSpan
       Difference = DateReturnTP.Value - DateReturnTP.Value
       DurationText.Text = Difference.TotalDays.ToString
   End Sub

 

At this line of code:

Difference = DateReturnTP.Value - DateReturnTP.Value

 

The problem arises, it says that Operator "-" not defined for types 'Date' and 'Date'.

Try

Difference = DateReturnTP.Value.Subtract(DateReturnTP.Value)
