Question

How do I get the time difference between two DateTime objects using C#?

Answer 1

What you need is to use the DateTime classs Subtract method, which returns a TimeSpan.

var dateOne = DateTime.Now;
var dateTwo = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-5);
var diff = dateTwo.Subtract(dateOne);
var res = String.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}", diff.Hours,diff.Minutes,diff.Seconds));
