I am trying to get a overall difference on two dates,
I can get the difference in Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes,
Seconds, no problems...
What I cannot seem to figure out is how to get:
2 Years, 3 Months, 1 Week, 3 Days, 14 Hours, 21 Minutes, 33 Seconds.
The hardest part of that, the part I cannot figure out, is the Month
section... all the others are static, defined length components, but Months
change, are all different...
Help! anyone know how you do this? I am stuck...
Thanks So Much for your Help!

aha
you can do somthing like this... dim date1 as datetime
dim date2 as datetime
dim ticks1 as long = date1.ticks
dim ticks2 as long = date2.ticks
Dim dt As New DateTime(math.a bs(ticks1 - ticks2))
Dim msg As String = "Differnce is:" & vbCrLf & _
"years: " & (dt.Year - 1) & vbCrLf & _
"months: " & (dt.Month - 1) & vbCrLf & _
"days: " & (dt.Day - 1) & vbCrLf & _
"hours: " & dt.Hour & vbCrLf & _
"minutes: " & dt.Minute & vbCrLf & _
"seconds: " & dt.Second
doing -1 for year, month and day:
new datetime(ticks as long) -> gives you a date, not a timespan
and the date is calculated as the number of ticks since 01-01-0001 00:00:00
so doing -1 for day, month and year gives you the remaining time for each
datetime part
isn't that kewl :-)
something not so kewl
try this
date1 = now
date2 = date1.addYear(1 )
result everything 0 except for year... and day (also 1)
tried a little with other "year-add's"
90 -> year=90, day=1
99 -> year=99, day=0
wellwell, bug for small number of add years only?
or am I missing something?

Dominique,
You know you can shorten that to: dim date1 as datetime
dim date2 as datetime
dim difference as timespan = date2.Subtract( date1)
Which assumes that date2 is after date1.
Hope this helps

Dominique,
How about
Dim difference as TimeSpan = date2.Subtract( date1)
difference = difference.Dura tion() ' correct to positive offset
Now years is difference.Days/365 (ignoring leap year effects 365
days/year)
Days = difference.Days Mod 365
hours, minutes and seconds are directly readable from the timespan.

Yea that works, and that is pretty much what I was doing, except you have
the exact same problem with months that I did.
