Getting minutes from two DateTimes on different dates

I am comparing two DateTimes to see if there is 10 or fewer minutes between them. If I do DateTimeA - DateTimeB, and A is on 4/1/13 and B is on 4/3/13 I won't get the desired results.

I am only worried about minutes. So DateTimeA takes place at 8:00 am and DateTimeB takes place at 12:20 pm, I would want the result to be 260 minutes.

(DateTimeA - DateTimeB).TotalMinutes % 24*60

Get the total number of minutes modulo the number of minutes in a day. That way you'll get rid of the different-day problem.

(A - B).TotalMinutes

A-B will yield a Timespan, for which the total minutes can then be produced.

You will need to use DateTime.TimeofDay() To get the actual time values and then do arithmatic on them.

or use DateTime.Minute DateTime.Hour DateTime.Second. Here is a full explanation on DateTime objects: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx
