Q: DateTime Difference

[Guest]

Hello
I have TextBox1 this keeps date and time information and I need to compare
this DateTime with the current DateTime and find difference in hour. How can
I do this in VB.Net?

Thanks,

Use the DateTime.Subtract() method. When you subtract a DateTime from
another DateTime, it returns a TimeSpan, from which you can extract any
portion. Example:

DateTime dt = new DateTime(1, 4, 2005, 12, 12, 0);
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now.Subtract(dt);
int hours = ts.TotalHours;
