Diferenta intre doua date de tip DateTime

Sunt momente cand avem nevoie sa calculam diferenta a doua date. Pentru a putea calcula aceasta diferenta este nevoie doar sa folosim operatorul "-" intre cele doua date. Obiectul pe care il obtinem este de tip TimeSpan. Pana aici totul este in regula.
Dar ce reprezinta aceasta valorea? Poate sa fie negativa, positiva? Cum obtinem delta intre cele doua?
Obiectul de tip TimeSpan pe care il obtinem reprezinta diferenta intre cele doua date. Aceasta valoare poate sa fie negativa sau pozitiva. Daca apelam propietatiile din TimeSpan care ne returneaza minutele,secundele,... sau numarul total de minute, secunde,... acestea o sa ne returneaza valori negative sau pozitive, depinde de ce valori le comparam.
Daca dorim sa obtinem valoarea pozitiva a acestei diferente, putem sa folosim metoda "Duration()". Aceasta metoda returneaza un TimeSpan cu o valoarea pozitiva, care reprezinta timpul trecut intre cele doua date comparate.
Iata si un exemplu:
    class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DateTime dateTime1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dateTime2 = dateTime1.AddHours(1);

TimeSpan deltadt1dt2 = dateTime1 - dateTime2;
TimeSpan deltadt2dt1 = dateTime2 - dateTime1;

Console.WriteLine(string.Format("datetime1: {0}", dateTime1));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("datetime2: {0}", dateTime2));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("datetime1-datetime2: {0}", deltadt1dt2));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("datetime2-datetime1: {0}", deltadt2dt1));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Duration of datetime1 - datetime2: {0}",deltadt1dt2.Duration()));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Duration of datetime2 - datetime1: {0}", deltadt2dt1.Duration()));

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
Iar cea ce se afiseaza este:
datetime1: 10/19/2010 11:44:17 PM
datetime2: 10/20/2010 12:44:17 AM
datetime1-datetime2: -01:00:00
datetime2-datetime1: 01:00:00
Duration of datetime1 - datetime2: 01:00:00
Duration of datetime2 - datetime1: 01:00:00
Metoda "Duration()" poate sa fie folosita cu succes in loc sa facem Abs din valorea returnata de o propietate a TimeSpanului obtinut, sau sa facem Abs la Ticks, iar apoi sa generam un nou TimeSpan sau DateTime.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
