Calculating number of seconds given two times

[Asad]

Hello,

I need to know how I can calculate the number of seconds between two
time stamps, e.g. if I have the following (using ToLongTimeString)

8:28:21 PM

and

9:02:33 PM

How can I find out the number of seconds elapsed between the two
times?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Asad,

Look at the TimeSpan example:

Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
viewstate("starttime") = Now
Else
Dim tmspan As TimeSpan
tmspan = Date.Now.Subtract _
(CType(viewstate("starttime"), DateTime))
Label1.Text = tmspan.TotalSeconds.ToString
End If
End Sub

Hello as*******@hotmail.com,

I'll presume that you have both times as DateTime objects. If not, you'll need to parse them and then call the Subtract method to get a TimeSpan object.

TimeSpan span = dt.Subtract(dt2);
int seconds = span.Seconds;
