Time

jhilden · February 15th, 2009, 08:31 PM

My goal is to obtain two times from a user and calculate the difference between those two.

The format I want to use is: 00:00.00 => 01:48.4 (1 minute and 48.4 seconds.)

What is the code for this simple calculation and what are the variable declarations?

Thanks to any who can help me.

I submitted this in the beginners section but appears to be dead in there

The best way to do this would be to use a TimeSpan. After you get the result you can format it any way you like it.

Code:

        Dim t1 As Date = Date.Now
        Dim t2 As Date = Date.Now.AddSeconds(108.4)
        Dim ts As TimeSpan = t2 - t1
        MessageBox.Show(ts.Minutes.ToString() & ":" & ts.Seconds.ToString() & "." & ts.Milliseconds.ToString())
