using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    DateTimeOffset firstDate = new DateTimeOffset(2014, 3, 25, 18, 0, 0, 
                                                  new TimeSpan(-7, 0, 0));
    DateTimeOffset secondDate = new DateTimeOffset(2014, 3, 25, 18, 0, 0, 
                                                   new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0));
    TimeSpan difference;
    
    difference = firstDate - secondDate;
    Console.WriteLine("({0}) - ({1}): {2} days, {3}:{4:d2}", 
                      firstDate.ToString(), 
                      secondDate.ToString(), 
                      difference.Days, 
                      difference.Hours, 
                      difference.Minutes);      

  }
