How can I use VB DateDiff function in C#?

I've included

using Microsoft.Visua lBasic, cranked up a VBCodeProvider, the only class I
see in there, don't see DateDiff as a method though?

Thanks in advance!!

Derrick,

You can add a reference to Microsoft.Visua lBasic.dll, and then call the
static DateDiff function on the DateAndTime class which can be found in the
Microsoft.Visua lBasic namespace.

Hope this helps.

Another way;

TimeSpan diff = date1.Subtract (date2);
diff.TotalSecon ds
diff.TotalMinut es
....

where "date1" and "date2" are DateTime variables, and diff - TimeSpan -
difference betweem two dates...

I'm trying to set up a query that will include a new field ('Days until completion') whose value is derived from the DateDiff function. I think I have the syntax correct but am not sure. Days until completion: DateDiff("d",,) is TODAY the appropriate syntax for today's date? Could the function/expression even be set up that way, or do I need to do something else to get 'days until completion'? (My Access manuals do not mention a TODAY...
