Calculate minutes between two dates in C#

Firstly, set the two dates.

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2018, 7, 15, 08, 15, 20);
DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2018, 8, 17, 11, 14, 25);

Now, calculate the difference between two dates.

TimeSpan ts = date2 - date1;

To calculate minutes.

ts.TotalMinutes

Let us see the complete code.

Example

using System;
using System.Linq;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2018, 7, 15, 08, 15, 20);
      DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2018, 8, 17, 11, 14, 25);
      TimeSpan ts = date2 - date1;
      Console.WriteLine("No. of Minutes (Difference) = {0}", ts.TotalMinutes);
   }
}

Output

No. of Minutes (Difference) = 47699.0833333333
