Get date difference in VB.NET

Question

I want to get the difference between two dates chosen by two date time pickers in years, months & days in separate text boxes.

I've tried:

txtyrs.text = datediff(datetimepicker1,datetimepicker2)

It is not working.

Answer 1

Try this:

Dim date1 As Date = Date.Now
Dim date2 As Date = date1.AddDays(4.0#)

Dim span = date2 - date1

Dim days As Double = span.TotalDays '=4

And if you want to extract the years, take a look at this post.
