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

you need to get .TotalSeconds property of your timespan :

DateTime myDate1 = new DateTime(2012, 8, 13, 0, 05, 00);
DateTime myDate2 = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan myDateResult = new TimeSpan();
myDateResult = myDate2 - myDate1;
MessageBox.Show(myDateResult.TotalSeconds.ToString());

Answer 2

TimeSpan myDateResult;

myDateResult = DateTime.Now.Subtract(new DateTime(1970,1,9,0,0,00));
myDateResult.TotalSeconds.ToString();

Answer 3

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;

Answer 4

Have you tried something like

DateTime.Now.Subtract(new DateTime(1970, 1, 9, 0, 0, 00)).TotalSeconds

DateTime.Subtract Method (DateTime)

TimeSpan.TotalSeconds Property
