DateTime.Subtract() Method in C#
This method is used to subtract the specified time or duration from this instance. There are 2 methods in the overload list of this method as follows:
- Subtract(DateTime)
- Subtract(TimeSpan)
DateTime.Subtract(DateTime)
This method is used to subtract the specified date and time from this instance.
Syntax: public TimeSpan Subtract (DateTime value);
Return Value: This method returns a time interval that is equal to the date and time represented by this instance minus the date and time represented by value.
Exception: This method will give ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the result is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of DateTime.Subtract(DateTime) Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the // DateTime.Subtract(DateTime) // Method using System; using System.Globalization; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { try { // creating object of DateTime DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2011, 1, 1, 4, 0, 15); // creating object of DateTime DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 4, 0, 15); // getting ShortTime from DateTime // using Subtract() method; TimeSpan value = date1.Subtract(date2); // Display the TimeSpan Console.WriteLine( "TimeSpan between date1" + " and date2 is {0}" , value); } catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) { Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " ); Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message); } } } |
TimeSpan between date1 and date2 is 365.00:00:00
Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the // DateTime.Subtract(DateTime) // Method using System; using System.Globalization; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { try { // creating object of DateTime DateTime date1 = DateTime.MinValue; // creating object of DateTime DateTime date2 = new DateTime(11119999, 1, 1, 4, 0, 15); // getting ShortTime from DateTime // using Subtract() method; TimeSpan value = date1.Subtract(date2); // Display the TimeSpan Console.WriteLine( "TimeSpan between date1 " + "and date2 is {0}" , value); } catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) { Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " ); Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message); } } } |
Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
DateTime.Subtract(TimeSpan)
This method is used to subtract the specified duration from this instance.
Syntax: public DateTime Subtract (TimeSpan value);
Return Value: This method returns an object that is equal to the date and time represented by this instance minus the time interval represented by value.
Exception: This method will give ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the result is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of DateTime.Subtract(TimeSpan) Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the // DateTime.Subtract(TimeSpan) // Method using System; using System.Globalization; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { try { // creating object of DateTime DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 1, 1, 4, 0, 15); // creating object of TimeSpan TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(1, 12, 15, 16); // getting ShortTime from // subtracting DateTime and TimeSpan // using Subtract() method; DateTime value = date.Subtract(ts); // Display the TimeSpan Console.WriteLine( "DateTime between date " + "and ts is {0}" , value); } catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) { Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " ); Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message); } } } |
DateTime between date and ts is 12/30/2010 15:44:59
Example 2: For ArgumentOutOfRangeException
// C# program to demonstrate the // DateTime.Subtract(TimeSpan) // Method using System; using System.Globalization; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { try { // creating object of DateTime DateTime date = DateTime.MinValue; // creating object of TimeSpan TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(1, 12, 15, 16); // getting ShortTime from subtracting // DateTime and TimeSpan // using Subtract() method; DateTime value = date.Subtract(ts); // Display the TimeSpan Console.WriteLine( "DateTime between date" + " and ts is {0}" , value); } catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) { Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " ); Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message); } } } |
Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
