Hi,

What is the unit of the output from DateTime.Compare.

Seconds, minutes, hours or days? or something else

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
The DateTime.Compare method returns a relative value
denoting which of the two instances being compared is greater. I dont
think this return value in any case relates to the actual seconds,
hours or minutes of the two instances.
Here is a msdn link so that my point is clear to you

Thanks !

I understand. I want to get the difference between these two in seconds. Do
you know of a way to do this?

Thanks again,

Martin
 
Very neat, but I get the error "Operator '-' is not defined for types 'Date'
and 'Date'."
 
Thanks!

This works. It is a shame I can't use operator overloading in VB.net.
Perhaps I should switch to C# - I like some of its other syntax better too -
'{' and '}' for code blocks is much better than 'END'. That may have to wait
till my next project though - too much code to convert otherwise.

I am not using the web to read this newsgroup, I am using usenet. I do not
know of any facility in any usenet client to add ratings to articles,
although admitedly I am using one of the less featured usenet clients,
Outlook Express. For info about usenet, see the wikipedia article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USENET

Also, I should point out that you are bound to meet a much more angry
response from a lot of usenet users - take a look at this url for an example

http://www.google.com/search?q="not+a+web+forum"

In any case, I'll be more restrained,

Martin
