Question

I want to find if there are any difference between DateTime.UtcNow.

LastEdited(9/11/2011 21:00:00) is less than 30 minutes, so the bool value should return a false since the difference is higher.

But it returned true. May I know what is wrong here?

 bool difference = ((DateTime.UtcNow - LastEdited).Minutes < 30);

Answer 1

Did you try using

bool difference = ((DateTime.UtcNow - LastEdited).TotalMinutes < 30);

The result is actually a Timespan and if you check for TotalMinutes it gives you the entire span part in minutes while Minutes would give only the actual minute component of the Time interval.
