Overloads

DateDiffHour(DateTime, DateTime)

Counts the number of hour boundaries between two non-nullable dates.

DateDiffHour(DateTimeOffset, DateTimeOffset)

Counts the number of hour boundaries between two non-nullable dates.

DateDiffHour(Nullable<DateTime>, Nullable<DateTime>)

Counts the number of hour boundaries between two nullable dates.

DateDiffHour(Nullable<DateTimeOffset>, Nullable<DateTimeOffset>)

Counts the number of hour boundaries between two nullable dates.

Remarks

Corresponds to the SQL Server DATEDIFF function using hour to specify the type of time boundary crossed. For more about this SQL Server function, see DATEDIFF.

DateDiffHour(DateTime, DateTime)
