        {
            IList<LeaveSet> result =
                (IList<LeaveSet>)HttpContext.Current.Session["leave"];

            if (result == null)
            {
                HttpContext.Current.Session["leave"] = result =
                    (from l in new ProjectManagementSystemEntities3().leave_master
                     select new LeaveSet
                     {
                         user_id = l.user_id,
                         leave_start_date = l.leave_start_date,
                         leave_end_date = l.leave_end_date,
                         leave_description = l.leave_description,
                         leave_days = l.leave_days,
                         //   is_valid = l.is_valid,

                     }).ToList();

            }
            return result;
        }
    }
}

So how can i do that in MVC3?

Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2012, 3, 3);
DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(2011, 3, 3);
var days = dt1.Subtract(dt2).TotalDays;
