I'm an absolute beginner too but I had a go at making an app that counts the number of days since something, thanks to one of the tutorials in the video series I posted above but I changed it up a bit I also chucked in an if statement just for practice. I couldn't figure out how to get the date to show just the days though. If anyone knows how to change that, it would be much appreciated. Heres my code:


string message;
if (textBox1.Text == "24/03/1995")
{
message = "test ";
}

else
{

DateTime myBirthday = DateTime.Parse(textBox1.Text);

TimeSpan myAge = DateTime.Now.Subtract(myBirthday);

message = myAge.ToString();
}

myTextBlock.Text = String.Format("{0}", message);
