C#: how do I subtract two dates?

Question

Here\'s my code:

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(byear, bmonth, bday, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime datenow =  DateTime.Now;
DateTime date2 = datenow - date1

Answer 1

Try using ticks...?

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(1986, 3, 16, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime datenow =  DateTime.Now;
DateTime date2 = new DateTime(datenow.Subtract(date1).Ticks);
