Trying to convert timespan value to decimal

Marvin kakuru

Hello everyone, I am trying to use a timespan value for calculating different values, Like subtracting, dividing and multiplying with other decimal values but in vain. Below is the code I used to arrive at the timespan value (no of days) between two dates. DateTime endate = convert.ToDateTIme(transdate.Text); DateTime startdate = convert.ToDateTIme(lastdate.Text); TimeSpan Nodays = enddate.Subtract(startdate); Int NumberOfDays = No.Days; LabelNoOfDays.Text = NumberOfDays.ToString(); So am trying to use the value (number of days) in label "LabelNoOfDays.Text" but in vain Any help will be appreciated.

Timespan.Days will return an int datatype where as you can use the timespan.TotalDays that gives you the result in fraction, like
var NumberOfDays = Nodays.TotalDays;
LabelNoOfDays.Text = NumberOfDays.ToString();
@Rafnas
To be correct, ts.TotalDays will return double instead of int

hi,
try this below code to get total days
DateTime endate = convert.ToDateTIme(transdate.Text);
DateTime startdate = convert.ToDateTIme(lastdate.Text);
TimeSpan Nodays = enddate.Subtract(startdate);
Int NumberOfDays = Nodays.TotalDays; //or Nodays.Days
LabelNoOfDays.Text = NumberOfDays.ToString();
