If you are only dealing with Times and no dates you will want to only deal with TimeSpan and handle crossing over midnight.

TimeSpan time1 = ...;  // assume TimeOfDay
TimeSpan time2 = ...;  // assume TimeOfDay
TimeSpan diffTime = time2 - time1;
if (time2 < time1)  // crosses over midnight
    diffTime += TimeSpan.FromTicks(TimeSpan.TicksPerDay);
int totalMilliSeconds = (int)diffTime.TotalMilliseconds;
