Use the DateTime Struct (System) | Microsoft Docs[^]. It is a good idea to study the documentation so you learn some of the more common and useful classes.

When you subtract two DateTime values, you get a TimeSpan value representing the duration between them:

C#

DateTime startDate = datetimepicker1.Value;
Datetime now = DateTime.Now; // The datetime at the tick of the timer
TimeSpan duration = now - startDate; // The duration between both datetimes
