beginner

I want to calculate the time span between 2 times which I saved in a database. So literally I want to know the length of time between the 2 values.

14:10:20 - 10:05:15 = 02:05:05

So the result would be 02:05:05.

How would I be able to achieve this using C#?

14:10:20 is the format I saved it in in my database.
