hi,...

here are the various formats..

strDate = dt.ToString("HH:mm"); // 15:14
strDate = dt.ToString("hh:mm tt"); // 03:14 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("H:mm"); // 5:15
strDate = dt.ToString("h:mm tt"); // 3:16 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("HH:mm:ss"); // 15:16:29

If you want a timespan, you will need a start date and end date.

The code below shows how to get the timepan between current date and 11/11/2009.

TimeSpan oSpan = DateTime.Now - new DateTime(2009, 11, 11);
or


try {
DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(2003,4,15);
TimeSpan ts = dt1.Subtract(dt2);
Console.WriteLine(ts);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
