Number of days and nights between two dates

Mehmet Fatih

I want to calculate the numbers of days and nights between two dates. My date fields are in string types. I am trying to subtract like that but the sing "-" gives error. My code is like that.

(DateTime.Parse(dr["dtarihi"].ToString()).ToShortDateString()) - (DateTime.Parse(dr["dtarihi"].ToString()).ToShortDateString())

Accepted answer

please try the below code

DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2023, 5, 1); // Example start date
DateTime endDate = new DateTime(2023, 6, 10); // Example end date

TimeSpan duration = endDate - startDate;

int totalDays = duration.Days;
int totalNights = duration.Days + 1; // Assuming nights refer to full 24-hour periods

Console.WriteLine("Total days: " + totalDays);
Console.WriteLine("Total nights: " + totalNights);
