And what if the difference is 0.00:04:53?

You have to share what exactly you are tring to do and whats the end goal expected. difference between two dates will vary from seconds to years. What are you looking for?

Ah! That makes more sense.

Don't use the default TimeSpan.ToString: it returns a timespan as days.hours:minutes:seconds
Instead, use a format string to return only the bit you are interested in:

txtDays.Text = ts.ToString("d");

Or use the days value you have already extracted!
