Calculating days from dates

Hi

How can I calculate days from the two dates entered in date time picker
fields on winform by a user?

Thanks

Regards

John,

You first have to define what is a day.

For some people is it just two dates, (which means that a millisecond is one
day), for others it is at the second exact.

You should use DateTime.Subtra ct to get a timespan, and then totaldays, as
in this example:

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim dt1 As New DateTime(2008, 9, 11)
Dim dt2 As New DateTime(2008, 9, 15)

Console.Out.Wri teLine("Days: " & dt2.Subtract(dt 1).TotalDays())
Console.In.Read Line()
End Sub

End Module

Assuming you have 2 DateTimePicker controls, you can use substract
method to get result as string:

'Calculate DateTimePicker1 - DateTimePicker2
'-----Begin-----
Dim str As String
str = DateTimePicker1 .Value.Date.Sub tract _
(DateTimePicker 2.Value.Date).D ays.ToString()
'Show difference in message box
MsgBox(str)
'-----End------

Hope this helps,

Hi, I need some help with JS. I will be grateful, if you can help me out. I have two date fields (check in, check out) and "number of days" field. I want the script to calculate automatically the difference. For example: I have defaults dates, and I want the script to put the difference in "number of days" field. And if the user will change the date, the number of days will change automatically.
