Find # of hours between 2 dates, excluding weekends, in C#

Hi there;

yes we can...any code snippet you can provide us?

Best regards...

or algorithm?

Sure, so far I only display the flat difference in hours (see snippet). I need to adapt it to exclude weekends.

Super quick, super dirty.  This calculates days but you could easily modify it to do hours.
I can modify it if you need.

            //Todays Date
            DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Now;
 
            //Previous Date
            DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("10/15/2008");
 
            //TimeSpan Between Dates
            TimeSpan dt3 = dt2 - dt;
 
            //Count of days not including weekends
            int dayCount = 0;
 
            //1 day timespan
            TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0);
 
            for (int i = 1; i < dt3.Days+1; i++)
            {
                //Today - TimeSpan(1 Day)
                dt2 = dt2.Subtract(ts);
 
                if (dt2.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday && dt2.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday)
                {
                    dayCount++;
                }
               
            }

Yeah I definitely need hours, as in, if someone starts a ticket on Friday and happens to close it on a Saturday, none of the hours from Saturday count, and only the partial day (in hours) for Friday will count.
I'm not seeing a straight-forward way to do this above, would we convert the day count to a decimal and multiply by 24 at the end?

Excellent, thank you!  It seems to work for every test I've done so far.
