TimeSpan Problem

[Guest]

Why is it that:

DateTime start = DateTime.Parse("1:00 AM");
DateTime stop = DateTime.Parse("2:30 AM");
TimeSpan ts = stop - start;
Response.Write(ts.Minutes.ToString());

Produces 30, not 90? How do I return the exact number of minutes between 2
times?

Thanks a lot.

Because the Minutes property of the TimeSpan struct represents the
minutes in the hour, not the total number of minutes. Just use the
TotalMinutes property.

Hi,

Take a look at TotalMinutes

What you need is ts.TotalMinutes

Because the number of minutes on the resulting TimeSpan is 30. If you
want to get the total number of minutes, you need to access the TotalMinutes
property.

Perfect. Didn't even notice TotalMinutes. Thanks a lot.
