Use DateTime.TryParse[^] to convert string value into a DateTime.

Then simply take a difference between current date value and this date time value to get the difference.

You can also use the TimeSpan class to calculate the difference.
Here[^] is an example of difference using TimeSpan.Subtract.

No. In your ASP.Net code.

Its possible. Javascript has a Date.Parse() method.

JavaScript

function SessionTime() {

    var someSessionVariable = '<%= Session["LogInTime"].ToString() %>'; //Date.parseDate(@Session["LogInTime"],"dd/MM/yyyy");

    var startTime = new Date(someSessionVariable);
    var endTime = new Date();
    var timeDiff = endTime - startTime;
    timeDiff /= 1000;  // strip the miliseconds

     var secs = Math.round(timeDiff % 60);   // get seconds
    timeDiff = Math.floor(timeDiff / 60);    // remove seconds from the date

    var minutes = Math.round(timeDiff % 60);   // get minutes
     timeDiff = Math.floor(timeDiff / 60);     // remove minutes from the date

    var hours = Math.round(timeDiff % 24);   // get hours
     timeDiff = Math.floor(timeDiff / 24);   // remove hours from the date

    var days = timeDiff;  // the rest of timeDiff is number of days

    document.getElementById("lblSessionTime").innerHTML =days + " Days, " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + secs;
    window.setTimeout("SessionTime()", 1000); // Here 1000(milliseconds) means one 1 Sec
