Date Diff

A
Hi Group,

Coming from a VB background I am looking for the quickest path to do a date
diff in C#. I see that C# has no date diff function so this must be more
obvious than it looks.

Thanks

What's the difference between a "date diff" and thisDate - thatDate?

A,

It is =)

If you have two variables of type DateTime, you can do this:

// The first date.
DateTime pdatStart = DateTime.Now;

// Wait for two seconds.
Thread.Sleep(20 00);

// Get the time.
DateTime pdatEnd = DateTime.Now;

// Get the difference.
TimeSpan pobjDifference = pdatEnd - pdatStart;

The TimeSpan class is used to handle differences in datetime values.

Hope this helps.

Look in the help file for "DateTime Structure" and "TimeSpan
Structure".

Hi

Based on my understanding, you want to do "date diff" in C#.
Actully, all .Net languages use the .Net class library to do operations.
So you can refer to .Net structure DateTime and TimeSpan. It is not the
feature of C#, but included in the .Net class library which can also be
used by VB.net etc.

Would you mind having a look at my pose "UCOMIMoniker.B indToObject"? I'm
desperately seeking a solution and no one seems to know just how this
method works.

I have a problem that at first glance seems not that hard to figure out. But, so far, the answer has escaped me. I have an old database file that has the date(s) stored in it as number of days. An example is: 36,525 represents 01/01/1900. The starting point date is considered to be : 00/00/0000. I have looked thru Help and used Google and have not really found an answer. I know that Leap Years need to be accounted for too. Any...

Hi - I need to add support to a program for dates and times.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
