c# - Datetime.now as TimeSpan value?

Question

I need the current Datetime minus myDate1 in seconds.

DateTime myDate1 = new DateTime(1970, 1, 9, 0, 0, 00);
DateTime myDate2 = DateTime.Now;

TimeSpan myDateResult = new TimeSpan();

myDateResult = myDate2 - myDate1;

.
.
I tried different ways to calculate but to no effect.

TimeSpan mySpan = new TimeSpan(myDate2.Day, myDate2.Hour, myDate2.Minute, myDate2.Second);

.
The way it's calculated doesn't matter, the output should just be the difference these to values in seconds.

Answer 1

Code:

TimeSpan myDateResult = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;
