Getting Time Interval Using C#
Today, I’m going to teach you how to get a time interval using C#.NET. In this project, I use the TimeSpan properties to get the time interval between two Times. I also segregate the hours, minutes, seconds, millisecond and even the tick of the clock. For the result, it will appear in each corresponding text boxes.
So let’s begin:
Open Microsoft Visual Studio, create a new Project in C# then add a new Windows Form Application. Do the Form just like this.
After that, go to the solution explorer and click the view code.
In the code view, create a method to segregate the time intervals into the corresponding fields.
private void TimeInterval(TimeSpan ts )
{
//'USE THE PROPERTIES OF THE TIMESPAN AND IT DEMONSTRATE TimeSpan.Hours
//', TimeSpan.Milliseconds , TimeSpan.Minutes , TimeSpan.Seconds
//' AND TimeSpan.Ticks
txtHr.Text = ts.Hours.ToString();
txtMin.Text = ts.Minutes.ToString();
txtSec.Text = ts.Seconds.ToString();
txtMilli.Text = ts.Milliseconds.ToString();
txtTicks.Text = ts.Ticks.ToString();
}Then, go back to the design view, double click the button and do the following codes in the method.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//'CREATE A VARIABLE OF A TIMESPAN
TimeSpan time_span;
//'CREATE THE VARIABLE OF A DATETIME
DateTime strt_Date;
DateTime end_Date;
//'SET AND CONVERT THE TIME FROM THE DATETIMEPICKER
strt_Date = DateTime.Parse(dtpstrTime.Text);
end_Date = DateTime.Parse(dtpEndtime.Text);
//'SUBTRACT THE STARTING TIME AND THE END TIME
//time_span = end_Date.Subtract(strt_Date).Duration;
time_span = end_Date.Subtract (strt_Date).Duration();
//'PERFORM THE SUB PROCEDURE THAT YOU HAVE
//'CREATED IN DISPLAYING THE TIME INTERVAL
TimeInterval(time_span);
}Finally, do this following code on the first load. This will set the value of the end time greater than the starting time.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
////'SET THE VALUE OF THE END DATE HIGHER THAN THE START DATE
dtpEndtime.Value = dtpEndtime.Value.AddHours(9);
dtpEndtime.Value = dtpEndtime.Value.AddMinutes(30);
dtpEndtime.Value = dtpEndtime.Value.AddSeconds(30);

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this C# project work?
Built with C# WinForms (.NET Framework or .NET 6/7/8) and SQL Server backend. Standard structure: Form designer → code-behind event handlers → ADO.NET data access layer → SQL Server. Login form for auth. Ready to extend for BSIT capstone scope.
What .NET and SQL Server versions does this project require?
Most projects in this batch use C# WinForms on .NET Framework 4.5+ (the dominant stack for tutorial sites) with SQL Server 2012 Express or higher. A few newer projects use .NET 6/7/8. To run: install Visual Studio 2019 / 2022 (Community edition is free), install SQL Server Express + SSMS, open the .sln file, build, run.
How do I set up the database for this C# project?
Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to your SQL Server instance (e.g. localhost\SQLEXPRESS). Right-click Databases > Restore Database OR > New Database then import the included .sql script. Update the connection string in App.config (or in code-behind) with your server name + credentials. Rebuild and run.
Can I use this C# project for a BSIT capstone or thesis?
Yes, but extend it. A bare CRUD form is too narrow for full capstone scope. Add: role-based access (admin/staff/customer login redirect), Crystal Reports or RDLC reports, dashboard with Chart controls, audit log, multi-branch support. Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.
Why am I getting ‘connection error’ or ‘object reference not set’?
Three common C# issues: (1) Connection error: SQL Server isn’t running OR connection string in App.config has wrong server name. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager + verify SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service is running. (2) NullReferenceException: a control reference or DB column returned NULL, add a check or use ?? operator. (3) Build error ‘The type or namespace could not be found’: missing assembly reference, add via Project > Add Reference.
Where can I find more C# projects with source code?
Browse the C# Projects hub for the full library. For other .NET stacks see VB.NET Projects (300+ Windows Forms systems). For ASP.NET WebForms see ASP.NET Projects. For BSIT capstone idea lists see 150 Best Capstone Project Ideas.
