Subtracting one DateTime from another returns a Timespan object. which basically tells you how many days/hours/mins/secs/milliseconds/ticks that occured between the 2 DateTimes.

TimeSpan can be used to measure the differences between 2 DateTimes:

DateTime dt1 = ...
DateTime dt2 = ...
TimeSpan diff = dt2 - dt1;

Check the TimeSpan struct.
Also, for DateTime, you have handy procedures such as AddDays:

DateTime later = mydate.AddDays(1.0);

Similarlly, there are AddHours, AddMonths and even AddMilliseconds: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime_members.aspx
