Time difference in c#

Accepted answer

I think you are using TimeSpan incorrectly. See below:

DateTime dateFrom = new DateTime(2018, 7, 20, 6, 0, 0);
DateTime dateTo = new DateTime(2018, 7, 20, 22, 0, 0);
TimeSpan elapsed = dateTo - dateFrom;
Console.WriteLine(elapsed.ToString());

Output printed is:

16:00:00

Hope it helps!

The reason is explained by Jenith. But from standard what has MS defined, TimeSpan should be used for a duration. Please understand this statement through MSDN. Microsoft is suggesting that always use DateTime for other operations like diff between date, time etc...You know mere results doesn't matter, the way also matters in a long run.

Because it gives you a result based on 24 hours like when you entered 22 hours that means 10 in clock and now you remove 6 hours from them that time it will give you 16 that means 4 in clock
