How to find the difference between system time and user input time in the format [hh:mm] in millisecond.

hi adobe71

it may be useful:
if we have a Common class such as this in c# :
//-------------------------------------------------

using System;

namespace MohitZist_Baygany
{
    class Common
    {
        static public int second = 0;
        static public int minute = 0;
        static public int hour = 0;
    }
}
//-------------------------------------------
add a timer control in form and in timer tick event :
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            Common.second++;
            if (Common.second == 60)
            {
                Common.second = 0;
                Common.minute++;
            }
            if (Common.minute == 60)
            {
                Common.minute = 0;
                Common.hour++;
            }
            lableTimeLogined.Text = "system time login :" + 
                                            Common.hour +":" + 
                                            Common.minute + ":" + 
                                            Common.second; 
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------
we use Common class to use the public static variables , to use in any of places in our project.
change timer interval of timer to 1000;
for milisecond you must define an milisecond public static variable in Common and change interval of timer to 1 ; then in tick function of timer write Common.milisecond++ and change Common.second every 1000 Common.milisecond;

How to find the difference between system time and user input time in the format [hh:mm] in millisecond.

DateTime userInput = DateTime.Parse("6/29/2010 5:2:3 PM");

 TimeSpan sp = DateTime.Now - userInput;

 double milis= sp.TotalMilliseconds;

u can use DATEDIFF function

How pls give small example,actually i want to develop alarm application usin thread.sleep(millisecond);

here is the syntax for dtatediff
datediff(DateInterval.Day, Date 1 , Date 2)

this will allow u upto seconds for microsecond u have to see and use ur own logic

it is not with thread but maybe useful : the name of project is alarm
