Elapsed minutes between datetime’s…

Here is a simple little method to calculate the number of minutes between two datetimes. Make sure to use TotaMinutes not Minutes in your return value. 

        public static double GetMinuetsSpan(DateTime beginDate, DateTime endDate)
        {
            TimeSpan DeltaMinutes = TimeSpan.Zero;
            TimeSpan BeginDate = new TimeSpan(beginDate.Ticks);
            TimeSpan EndDate = new TimeSpan(endDate.Ticks);
            DeltaMinutes = BeginDate - EndDate;

            return DeltaMinutes.TotalMinutes;
        }
