Hi,
I want to calculate the time difference (in seconds,
minutes, days, etc.) between to DateTime values.
I expected some of the DateTime methods could do the job for
me, but after some search I came across the System.TimeSpan
method.
Following code seems to work correctly ..
string ss="2005-04-15 13:10:00";
string tt="2005-04-14 12:00:00";
date1 = DateTime.Parse( ss);
date2 = DateTime.Parse( tt);
System.TimeSpan ts = new
System.TimeSpan (date1.Ticks-date2.Ticks);
double min = ts.TotalMinutes ;
Then the result for "min" equals 1510 minutes, what's
correct. But what is a tick in this context ?
Is this the "standard" method for this kind of calculation,
or is there an easier way to do this ?
Thanks !

this is more readable than using Ticks...
TimeSpace ts = date1.Subtract( date2 );
for Ticks see this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tickstopic.asp
The value of this property is the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that
have elapsed since 12:00 A.M., January 1, 0001.

1510 minutes is correct. There are 1440 minutes in a day. When you add
1440 + 60 + 10 you get 1510. Substracting one DateTime form another is
the "standard" way to find the difference between two points in time.

And this is even more readable, IMO:
TimeSpan ts = date1-date2;

The one thing that confuses me sometimes is whether objects have an
overloaded operator like this or not. I think it's probably more to do with
the way the IDE presents this.
For example, in this case you've got completion intellisense type drop down
on the "." key press after date1... where as if you press the "-", it would
be nice to know what you can subtract from that object, and what the
resulting object would be. Just an idea.

Yes, possibly. Personally I think these things should be used *very*
sparingly. The operators with DateTime/TimeSpan and the compiler
support provided for string concatenation are handy, but I'd think long
and hard before overloading operators myself.

Many scripts and calendars call client side system time in order to
make presentations.
However, the client's time may be improperly set, if set at all,
and/or the relevant time may be from another time zone.
It would be of great value if the time of some central source could be
drawn, in the form of a ".js" file, into the script to avoid
dependence on the client's date/time.
