.NET Forum / Languages / C# / March 2008Working with dates and times
Is there a good handling tool for dates in C#? I'd like to get my hands on something that will help me compute e.g. number of minutes between point A and B in time BUT also will regard things as leap years, daylight savings etc. within a range of a decade. Is there something like that already or will i have to write it myself? -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy > Is there a good handling tool for dates in > C#?

DateTime and DateTimeOffset (.NET 2.0SP1) do quite a lot of this, but you do need to be careful when it comes to timezones etc.  SignatureJon Skeet - <skeet@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/jon.skeet World class .NET training in the UK: http://iterativetraining.co.uk >> Is there a good handling tool for dates in >> C#?

I hope that the rest is coded well so i won't have to be surprised by one of the many gotchas there are in our calendar system.

If A and B are DateTime then you can just use (B-A).TotalMinutes ! You can always get burned by sufficient complex logic with timezones, DST and changes.
