Datediff getting the date inbetween 2 dates and bind it to a gridview

Question

I have a table with \'dateborrowed\' and \'datereturned\' column. What I want to do is I want to get the value in between \'datereturned\' and \'dateborrowed\' and bind it t

Answer 1

TimeSpan ts = Convert.ToDateTime(dr["datereturned"]) 
            - Convert.ToDateTime(dr["dateborrowed"]);

(ts.TotalDays); // Will return the difference in Days

Answer 2

With C#.NET you can subtract one DateTime from another, resulting in a TimeSpan. For example:

TimeSpan timespan = (DateTime.Now - new DateTime(2011, 1, 1));

If you want a date in between two dates, you can then add half of this timespan to one of the dates:

TimeSpan timespan = (DateTime.Now - new DateTime(2011, 1, 1));
DateTime inBetween = DateTime.Now.AddDays(timespan.TotalDays / 2);
