Description

The ToRelativeTimeString method is a static extension method for the DateTime type. It converts a given DateTime object into a human-readable string that represents the relative time from the current moment. This is useful for displaying time in a more user-friendly format, such as "5 minutes ago" or "2 days ago".

Usage

To use the ToRelativeTimeString method, simply call it on a DateTime object. This method is an extension method, so it can be called as if it were a method on the DateTime instance.

Parameters:

  • dateTime (System.DateTime): The DateTime object you want to convert to a relative time string.

Returns: A string representing the relative time from the current moment.

Example

// Example usage of ToRelativeTimeString
DateTime pastDateTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-3);
string relativeTime = pastDateTime.ToRelativeTimeString();
// Output might be: "3 hours ago"
