Dim Difference As TimeSpan = enddate.Subtract(startdate)
Console.WriteLine(Difference.Days)

Not sure what language you want, but the VB isn't much differen that this C#

DateTime d1, d2; // Make sure you assign these first

TimeSpan ts = d1-d2;

int days = ts.Days;

((start.Ticks - end.Ticks) / TimeSpan.TicksPerHour) /24;

System.DateTime includes a Subtract method, which will do exactly this. In
C#, you can also use the - operator.

when i do this

Dim diffNUmb As Integer = DateDiff(DateInterval.day,
dbReader.GetDateTime(dbReader.GetOrdinal("sectionedited")), Now())



the sectionedited attribute of the table in the dbreader being a datetime
with a date/time of #10/19/2003 12:00:00 AM# in it and i run it, every time
it will return 0 as the diffrence in days even though i change the month and
day in the fixed date... why would it do this? thanks
