I would prefer not to use a reference to VB... just want an elegant way to
calculate days between two dates.

For example, 2004/12/31 and 2005/01/01 would show an elapsed time in days of
1.
 
You could create a TimeSpan with one date taken away from the other (you
could use each ones Ticks property) and then the TimeSpan will give you the
difference in Days, Hours etc

Look up TimeSpan and you will find lots to fine tune what you need.

DateTime start = new DateTime(2004, 12, 31);
DateTime end = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1);
TimeSpan ts = end - start;
int elapsedDays = ts.Days;
