you can also try as below
DateTime firstDate= DateTime.Parse(textBox1.Text);
DateTime secondDate = DateTime.Parse(textBox2.Text);

string daydiff = (secondDate - firstDate).TotalDays.ToString();
textBox3.Text =daydiff2;

@Prateek,

Just a word of caution.

The behavior of methods .ToString(), .ToShortDateString() of DateTime structure vary depending on regional settings of your computer. As such these must be avoided at any cost.

Your code is not guaranteed to work, if running on another machine with different regional settings.

protected float getTotalHours()
{
DateTime endDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(txtEndTime.Text.Trim());
var endDate = Convert.ToDateTime(endDateTime).ToShortDateString();
string hourTime = (ddlEndHours.SelectedValue);
string minTime = (ddlEndMinute.SelectedValue);
string end_Time = (endDate + " " + hourTime + ":" + minTime).ToString().Trim();
DateTime startDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(txtStartTime.Text);
var startDate = Convert.ToDateTime(startDateTime).ToShortDateString();
string shourTime = (ddlStartHours.SelectedValue);
string sminTime = (ddlStartMinute.SelectedValue);
string start_Time = (startDate + " " + shourTime + ":" + sminTime).ToString().Trim();
DateTime startDateTimeFinal = Convert.ToDateTime(start_Time);
DateTime EndDateTimeFinal = Convert.ToDateTime(end_Time);
TimeSpan objTimeSpan = EndDateTimeFinal - startDateTimeFinal;
//Total Hours
double TotalHours = objTimeSpan.TotalHours;
float h = (float)(TotalHours);
return h;

}

May be you should have a look at the .Subtract method of the DateTime structure and a TimeSpan structure.

You can do something like-

TimeSpan time_span = EL_ToTime.Value - EL_FromTime.Value;
EL_TotalHrs.Text = time_span.ToString(@"hh\:mm");

Please accept the answer, if it helped :)

Thanks
