VB 2008 Compairing 2 date and times
Hi all im struggling a bit and was wondering if anyone can help. Im looking to compair 2 sets of datess and times, for examp2 textbox1 27/02/1980 23:00 and text box 2 having the real time date and time. But instead off having years days hours mins and seconds i want to display how many seconds has passed between the two date and times. Can anyone show me how this is done as i have no clue where to start.
many thanks.

One option is to use the DateDiff method :
Code:
MessageBox.Show(DateDiff("s", CDate(TextBox1.Text), CDate(TextBox2.Text)))
