Use Timespan, you can ask it to output days, minutes, hours, seconds etc...
Just give it the two dates, then subtract them:

Dim Tspan As TimeSpan
 
Dim date1 As Date = Date.Now
Dim date2 As Date = Date.ParseExact("10/06/2007 08:23:14", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)
 
Tspan = date1 - date2
 
MessageBox.Show("Total Hours: " & Tspan.Hours.ToString & " Total Minutes: " & Tspan.Minutes.ToString)

There is also System.DateTime.Subtract

I use this when tracking loading times:

Dim start As Date = Now
' Perform function
MessageBox.Show(Me, Now.Subtract(start).TotalMilliSeconds)

That will give me the difference in milliseconds.
