    Hey,

    How would I go about converting System.Date.Time.Now.ToString() to a set up numbers that i can then subtract to find the difference of the System.Date.Time.Now.ToString() of when an application was opened and when it was last closed?

    Thanks!

    Code (CSharp):
    1. // store the start dateTime
    2. DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;
    3.  
    4. /// later in your code
    5. TimeSpan span = DateTime.Now - startTime;
    6. // span now contains an object that represents the difference in time between the 2 dateTime objects.
