If you use TimeSpan structures, you can compare them and do calculations on them. Example: TimeSpan a = new TimeSpan(8, 32, 0); TimeSpan b = new TimeSpan(13, 54, 0); if (a > b) Console.WriteLine("Time a is longer."); if (b > a) Console.WriteLine("Time b is longer."); if (a == b) Console.WriteLine("They are equal."); Console.WriteLine("Comparison: " + ToString(TimeSpan.Compare(a, b))); Console.WriteLine("Differece in minutes: " + ToString((b - a).TotalMinutes));

--- b { font-weight: normal; }

You can also compare to DateTime values and the result is a TimeSpan DateTime date1 = DateTime.Parse("2006-06-01 08:32"); DateTime date2 = DateTime.Parse("2006-06-01 13:54"); TimeSpan span1 = date2 - date1; -- modified at 9:20 Saturday 21st October, 2006
