I want to calculate time difference in source code.

Here is my code:

On

<%=System.DateTime.Now%>&"-"&<%# Eval("Submit_date")%>

but its not working.

I already done this but i have lost my code and now i forget it.
But i think i could do like this but this time its not working.

I want this result like how many hours ago or how many days ago.

please any one help me how can i do this in source code.

Thanks in advance

<%#System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("Submit_date")))%>

But not working, where i can add ToString

use .TOString("MMM/dd/yyyy") at the end with the format you want for eg MMM/dd/yyyy;

Ra-one 9-Jun-11 1:28am

ToString("MMM/dd/yyyy")
