Convert DateTime to TimeSpan

Question

I\'ve looked around but I couldn\'t find what I want, I on

Answer 1

To convert a DateTime to a TimeSpan you should choose a base date/time - e.g. midnight of January 1st, 2000, and subtract it from your DateTime value (and add it when you want to convert back to DateTime).

If you simply want to convert a DateTime to a number you can use the Ticks property.
