Timespan
I want to find the different between two dates.
var TakenDate = info.DateTime;
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now - TakenDate; < error on Takendate
int date_count = diff.Days;
var TakenDate = info.DateTime;
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now - TakenDate; < error on Takendate
int date_count = diff.Days;

First make sure that TakenDate is actually a DateTime type. If it's a String then try parse it first (DateTime.Parse).
Secondly, you should use diff.TotalDays to determine the total number of days difference in the time span not Days.
Without specific error details it's hard to determine your problem. Also using var means we can't immediately see what the type is getting returned by info.DateTime

var TakenDate = info.DateTime;
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32 < this is a string? This is what it provides
I tried
DateTime TakenDate = DateTime.Parse( info.DateTime);
same error
ASKER
string TakenDate = info.DateTime;
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32 < is a string
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32 < is a string

can I convert to datetime and get totaldays?
string TakenDate = info.DateTime;
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32
string TakenDate = info.DateTime;
TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32

Still errors
string TakenDate = info.DateTime; // TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now.Subtract(Conv
int date_count = diff.Days;
string TakenDate = info.DateTime; // TakenDate is 2010:11:20 18:54:32
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now.Subtract(Conv
int date_count = diff.Days;
DateTime TakenDate = DateTime.Parse(info.DateTime);
double day_count = (DateTime.Now - TakenDate).TotalDays;
Please try this
DateTime TakenDate = DateTime.ParseExact(info.D
DateTime TakenDate = DateTime.ParseExact(info.D
ASKER
FormatException
DateTime TakenDate = DateTime.Parse(info.DateTi
double day_count = (DateTime.Now - TakenDate).TotalDays;
DateTime TakenDate = DateTime.Parse(info.DateTi
double day_count = (DateTime.Now - TakenDate).TotalDays;
