I have two calendars and each return a DateTime from calendar.SelectedDate.

How do I go about subtracting the two selected dates from each other, giving me the amount of days between the two selections?

There is a calendar.Subtract() but it needs a TimeSpan instead of DateTime.

You can use someDateTime.Subtract(otherDateTime), this returns a TimeSpan which has a TotalDays property.
