C#

System.DateTime f = dateTimePicker1.Value;
System.DateTime g = dateTimePicker2.Value;
System.TimeSpan diff = f.Subtract(g);
textBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(diff);

I can't get the date difference.

When I select 12/05/2013 and 25/06/2013, I get the difference as 00.00.0000.

How can I find the date difference?

Both f and g contains same value so difference is zero.

Solution 1

You're subtracting g from f. That's fine. But beforehand, you assign dateTimePicker1.Value to both variables.

You should assign another DateTimePicker's Value to one of the variables g or f.

try this

C#

System.DateTime todt = dateTimePickerTodate.Value;
System.DateTime fromdt = dateTimePickerFromdate.Value;
System.TimeSpan diff = todt.Subtract(fromdt);//generally we substract smallar date from bigger else it will return Totaldays in negative sign
textBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(diff.TotalDays);

Happy Coding!
