I added 3 fields to the class: public int TimeInMinutes { get; set; } public int TimeInHours { get; set; } public int TimeInDays { get; set; } then: Add-Migration Update-Database then: public IActionResult Index() { DateTime date1 = System.DateTime.Now; foreach (Product employee in repository.Products) { int ThetimeMinute; int ThetimeHour; int ThetimeDays; System.TimeSpan Tspan = date1.Subtract(employee.Createdtime); ThetimeMinute = (int)Tspan.TotalMinutes; ThetimeHour = (int)Tspan.TotalHours; ThetimeDays = (int)Tspan.TotalDays; if ((ThetimeMinute employee.TimeInMinutes = ThetimeMinute; if ((ThetimeMinute > 60) && (ThetimeHour >= 1) && (ThetimeDays employee.TimeInHours = ThetimeHour; if ((ThetimeMinute > 60) && (ThetimeHour >= 1) && (ThetimeDays >= 1)) employee.TimeInDays = ThetimeDays; repository.AddProduct(employee); } return View(repository.Products); } then in the Index.html @if ((@p.TimeInMinutes { @p.TimeInMinutes minutes } else if ((@p.TimeInHours >= 1) && (@p.TimeInDays { @p.TimeInHours hours } else @if ((@p.TimeInDays >= 1)) { @p.TimeInDays days }

in the class: public DateTime Createdtime { get; set; } in the controller: employee.Createdtime = System.DateTime.Now; created new column in the class: public int TimeInDays { get; set; } Add-Migration Update-Database then in the index controller: public IActionResult Index() { DateTime date1 = System.DateTime.Now; foreach (Product employee in repository.Products) { System.TimeSpan Tspan = date1.Subtract(employee.Createdtime); int ThetimeMinute = (int)Tspan.TotalMinutes; int ThetimeHour = (int)Tspan.TotalHours; int ThetimeDays = (int)Tspan.TotalDays; if (ThetimeMinute employee.TimeInDays = ThetimeMinute; if (ThetimeHour employee.TimeInDays = ThetimeHour; if (ThetimeDays > 24) employee.TimeInDays = ThetimeDays; } return View(repository.Products); } in the index view: @if (@p.TimeInDays { @p.TimeInDays minutes } else if (@p.TimeInDays { @p.TimeInDays days } else @if (@p.TimeInDays > 24) { @p.TimeInDays hours}

Thank you Dipa. DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2020,3, 7,5,1,1); //07-Mar-20 5:01:01 AM DateTime date2 = DateTime.Now; //07-Mar- 20 6:14:23 PM System.TimeSpan Tspan = date2.Subtract(date1); // difference is 13:13:22.6494665 int ThetimeMinute = (int) Tspan.TotalMinutes; int ThetimeHour = (int)Tspan.TotalHours; int ThetimeDays = (int) Tspan.TotalDays; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Today is " + date1 + "............"); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Today is " + date2 + "..............................."); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("difference is " + Tspan + "..............................."); if(ThetimeMinute System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("minutes " + ThetimeMinute + "..............................."); if (ThetimeHour System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Hour " + ThetimeHour + "..............................."); if (ThetimeDays System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Days " + ThetimeDays + "..............................."); The output: Today is 07-Mar-20 5:01:01 AM............ Today is 07-Mar-20 6:23:08 PM............................... difference is 13:22:07.8345982............................... Hour 13...............................
