Try this:

label1.text = "42"

Doesn't work in all cases, you have to make sure the user is really 42. But then it should be fine.

Look up the DateDiff function. That should get you the code you need.

It is not the down-voting I mind, but would be good if there was a reason for it, and it was specified here. Will help me learning as well. Thanks
