In .NET, if you subtract one DateTime
object from another, you will get a TimeSpan
object. You can then use the Ticks
property on that TimeSpan
object to get the number of ticks between the two DateTime
objects. However, the ticks will be represented by a Long
, not a Double
.
DateTime date1;
DateTime date2;
Long diffTicks = (date2 - date1).Ticks;
There are other interesting properties on the TimeSpan
object like TotalMilliseconds
and TotalMinutes
and things like that which can help you out, and may be more what you are looking for.
