To find the difference between two dates, we can use DateTime.Subtract method. The DateTime.Subtract method takes a DateTime object and subtracts it from a DateTime and returns result as a TimeSpan object.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to subtract a date and display results on the console.

Module Module1

 

    Sub Main()

 

        ' Start date

        Dim startDate As DateTime = New DateTime(2005, 2, 1, 3, 4, 12, 56)

        ' End date

        Dim endDate As DateTime = New DateTime(2005, 12, 12, 4, 30, 45, 12)

        ' Time span

        Dim diffDate As TimeSpan = endDate.Subtract(startDate)

        ' Spit it out

        Console.WriteLine("Time Difference: ")

        Console.WriteLine(diffDate.Days.ToString() + " Days")

        Console.WriteLine(diffDate.Hours.ToString() + " Hours")

        Console.WriteLine(diffDate.Minutes.ToString() + " Minutes")

        Console.WriteLine(diffDate.Seconds.ToString() + " Seconds ")

        Console.WriteLine(diffDate.Milliseconds.ToString() + " Milliseconds ")

 

        Console.ReadKey()

 

    End Sub

 

End Module
