timespan

Hi

I want a linq query to return a calculated timespan, i have used the timespan function before, but im not sure how to incorporate it into linq. Basically the linq is returning a datetime field which i want to subtract from the current datetime to get days and hours.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks
