Hello all,

I'm new in CF and C#.
How can I calculate the diffence between two datetime values, lets say :
Date1 "8/21/2004 03:20:00"
Date2 "8/20/2004 23:40:00"
and then compare this

if (Date1 - Date2) >= 15 minutes then
do something
else
do otherwise


thanks

Peter.

Click to expand...

TimeSpan ts = date1-date2;

if (ts.TotalMinutes >= 15)
{
....
}
 
When you subtract two DateTime structs you get a TimeSpan result. So using
the resulting TimeSpan you can compare against the TotalMinutes property to
accomplish what you want.
