Time calculation - the best method

[hog]

I am trying to keep a running ttal of hours/minutes spent servicing equipment. I see now there is a Timespan object in .NET.

 

Should I be using this to keep a time total or the Dateadd or Datediff functions.

I think you should be using TimeSpan since DataDiff is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. But that's probably little more than a personal preference to try and avoid that namespace as much as possible.

OK thanks, but can you explain why you should avoid the microsoft.visualbasic namespace?

[Squirm]

For easier portability to C# I would think.

Aha, so no problem then if I'm never gonna use C#?
