title: Using Time Span to compare two time intervals
body: <p>I want to compare between a certain time and the current time to check if it has exceeded a given period.</p>
  
  <p>I think i should be using TimeSpan but i am not sure how. The two dates im comparing are DateTime objects.</p>
  
  <pre><code> TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(_timeInterval);
  
   if(DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks - rex.LastFired.Ticks &gt; ts.Ticks)
      // bla bla
  </code></pre>
