Solution 1

Something like this should work

<%# System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("Date"))).Minutes + " minutes ago" %>

Else have a public function, say,

public string GetInfo(object date)
{
   return DateTime.Now.Subtract(Convert.ToDateTime(date.ToString())).Minutes + " minutes ago";
}

and then use it as

<%# GetInfo(Eval("Date")) %>

Hope this helps!
