How can I calculate the number of days between two dates in C#?

I'm using following code to to generate the days.

private void Days()
    {
        lbl_borroweddate.Text = DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString();
        lbl_duedate.Text = DateTime.Today.AddDays(14).ToShortDateString();
    }

Here, that should be easy

private void Days()
{
    DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Today;
    DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Today.AddDays(14);
    lbl_borroweddate.Text = dt1.ToShortDateString();
    lbl_duedate.Text = dt2.ToShortDateString();
    TimeSpan ts = dt2 - dt1;
    double days = (ts).TotalDays;
 }

When you subtract dates you get a TimeSpan:

var borrow = DateTime.Today;
var due = DateTime.Today.AddDays(14);

TimeSpan diff = due - borrow;
Console.WriteLine(diff.TotalDays);

This has properties such as TotalDays for getting the number of days between 2 dates.

DateTime +/- operator overload returns a "TimeSpan" that will give you ."TotalDays" property and others you can also need. Like Below : 

            (DateTime.Now.AddDays(1) - DateTime.Now).TotalDays
