Solution 1

From a given date to when?

Use DateTime objects and subtract them. That gives you a TimeSpan object which has a TotalDays property:

double days = ((TimeSpan)date1-date2).TotalDays;

Solution 2

A fix to the answer by Wjousts: the type cast to TimeSpan it incorrect (just to date1?) and redundant, as subtraction operand for two instances of System.DateTime returns System.TimeSpan, so correct expression is:

C#

double days = (date1-date2).TotalDays;

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx[^].
