I know this has been asked before but i couldn't figure out how to get the answers given working for my particular example. This is a WPF application written in C# and i'm trying to remove a number of minutes from a timespan.
So far i've got the application to figure out the duration by removing a Start Time from a Finish Time, but what i'm trying to do now is remove the number of minutes the user has entered into the form.
Here's the code so far
private void testcal_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string startTime = teststart.Text;
string finishTime = testfinish.Text;
// Trying to deduct this lunchTime var from the duration TimeSpan
string lunchTime = testlunch.Text;
TimeSpan duration = DateTime.Parse(finishTime).Subtract(DateTime.Parse(startTime));
testlabel.Text = duration.ToString(@"hh\:mm");
}
Edit - Updated to include private void
With user input it would be.
string startTime = teststart.Text;
string finishTime = testfinish.Text;
string lunchTime = testlunch.Text;
TimeSpan duration = DateTime.Parse(finishTime).Subtract(DateTime.Parse(startTime)).
Subtract(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(Int32.Parse(lunchtime)));
