Question : Calculate difference in time, and get the integer value

Hi there.

I'm making a small program that is based on calculating the difference between groups of two times. The times comes from two textboxes as a string (length 4).
Then I converts the text strings to dateformat, and take out the time (hour and minute) from these two.
I then want to have the difference between those two times generated in Integer type.

So: Let's say we have txtTime1="1200" and txtTime2="1845"
This gives a time difference of 6 hours and 45 minutes.
I want the result (0.28125) to be put into a Integer variable i.e. Time3.

I need this Time3 do do some more calculations in my program.

Please advise - I use VB2008 Express Edition.

Answer : Calculate difference in time, and get the integer value

the tSpan.TotalDays returns a double value. You dont want int because it rounds the value to nearest whole number so

int(1.28) = 1
int(0.28) = 0

Do this

Dim tDays as Double = tSpan.TotalDays
