  • 0

I’m looking for some way to make a relative text timestamp but using future instead of past (not “2 days ago” but “in 2 days”).

I’m making a personal task manager for my personal usages and I’d like it to tell me “this task is due in 2 days”. But I can’t seem to find nothing to convert a DateTime to that kind of timestamp.

    Based on all the replies I finally made one myself which meets all my requierements:

    public static string RemainingTimeBeforeDateTime(DateTime dateTime, int level = 1)
    {
        int howDeep = 0;
        string result = "";
    
        TimeSpan dueDuration = dateTime - DateTime.Now;
    
        double days = dueDuration.Days;
        double hours = dueDuration.Hours;
        double minutes = dueDuration.Minutes;
    
        if (days > 0)
        {
            howDeep++;
            result = days + "d ";
        }
    
        if (((howDeep != level) && (days != 0)) || ((days == 0) && (hours > 0)))
        {
            howDeep++;
            result = result + hours + "h ";
        }
    
        if (((howDeep != level) && (hours != 0)) || ((hours == 0) && (minutes > 0)))
        {
            result = result + minutes + "m ";
        }
    
        return result;
    }
