Hi
Instead of text boxes, it is better to use DateTimePicker control. So the calculations will be easier.

You can use the below code find the difference in dates .

C#

TimeSpan dtDiff =   dtEnd.Value.Subtract(dtStart.Value);
         int iDiffValue  = dtDiff.Days;

Are you calculating the amount of leave an employee is taking? If so, you should probably only count the business days. Have a look at this StackOverflow answer[^]

Solution 1

You can use DateTime.Compare method as shown below

C#

NumLeaves.Text = DateTime.Compare(date1, date2).ToString();

Here NumLeaves is your textbox showing number of leaves

Hope that helps. If it does, mark it as answer/upvote.
