Datetime.now as TimeSpan value?

Question

I need the current Datetime minus myDate1 in seconds.

DateTime myDate1 = new DateTime(1970, 1, 9, 0, 0, 00);
DateTime myDate2 = DateTime.Now;

T         


        

Answer 1

Your code is correct. You have the time difference as a TimeSpan value, so you only need to use the TotalSeconds property to get it as seconds:

DateTime myDate1 = new DateTime(1970, 1, 9, 0, 0, 00);
DateTime myDate2 = DateTime.Now;

TimeSpan myDateResult;

myDateResult = myDate2 - myDate1;

double seconds = myDateResult.TotalSeconds;
