TimeSpan object question

[kellygreer1]

I haven't worked with the TimeSpan object before. So bare with me if
this seems like a newb question. But if I wanted to know how many
days from the current date until 2/4/2008. I have written this much
code so far.

DateTime startDate = new DateTime("2008-02-04");
DateTime curDate = DateTime.Now();
TimeSpan ts = startDate.Subtr act(curDate);

Now I get lost. I was expecting to find a Days property off of the
TimeSpan object. No such luck. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

Kelly,

The Days property should be accessible through the ts variable. It's
definitely there. What makes you think it is not?

I'm not sure - TimeSpan definitely does have a Days property, and
always has had. What happens when you try to use ts.Days?

I believe that the correct property is TimeSpan.TotalD ays

It depends on what the OP wants. If they just want the integral days
portion of the TimeSpan, Days is correct.

What I ended up doing was taking A ticks minus B ticks ... and then
dividing by the TimeSpan.TicksP erDay.
I'll fix this up tomorrow.

Wait. I just figured it out. Guess I was struck stupid today. I was
looking at the static side of TimeSpan and not an instance of
TimeSpan. Subtract 10 cool points. lol

Thanks guys,
Kelly
