update the question with your current linq statement and what have you tried? any exceptions?

Member 10226004 26-May-14 9:04am

dates =DateTime.Now.Subtract(n.CreatedDateTime.Value.Date).Days

Time span conversion error and want to display in repeator

Solution 1

define now as current date before the linq statement

C#

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

in your linq statement

C#

dates = System.Data.Objects.SqlClient.SqlFunctions.DateDiff("dd", n.CreatedDateTime, now)

it is on System.Data.Entity dll, you need to add using statement like below
using System.Data.Objects.SqlClient;
