我认为已经有很多关于这篇文章的答案了，但你可以使用它，它就像插件一样容易使用，程序员也很容易阅读。发送您的特定日期，并以字符串形式获取其值：

public string RelativeDateTimeCount(DateTime inputDateTime)
{
    string outputDateTime = string.Empty;
    TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - inputDateTime;

    if (ts.Days > 7)
    { outputDateTime = inputDateTime.ToString("MMMM d, yyyy"); }

    else if (ts.Days > 0)
    {
        outputDateTime = ts.Days == 1 ? ("about 1 Day ago") : ("about " + ts.Days.ToString() + " Days ago");
    }
    else if (ts.Hours > 0)
    {
        outputDateTime = ts.Hours == 1 ? ("an hour ago") : (ts.Hours.ToString() + " hours ago");
    }
    else if (ts.Minutes > 0)
    {
        outputDateTime = ts.Minutes == 1 ? ("1 minute ago") : (ts.Minutes.ToString() + " minutes ago");
    }
    else outputDateTime = "few seconds ago";

    return outputDateTime;
}

我将为此提供一些方便的扩展方法，并使代码更可读。首先，Int32的两个扩展方法。

public static class TimeSpanExtensions {

    public static TimeSpan Days(this int value) {

        return new TimeSpan(value, 0, 0, 0);
    }

    public static TimeSpan Hours(this int value) {

        return new TimeSpan(0, value, 0, 0);
    }

    public static TimeSpan Minutes(this int value) {

        return new TimeSpan(0, 0, value, 0);
    }

    public static TimeSpan Seconds(this int value) {

        return new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, value);
    }

    public static TimeSpan Milliseconds(this int value) {

        return new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, value);
    }

    public static DateTime Ago(this TimeSpan value) {

        return DateTime.Now - value;
    }
}

然后，为DateTime设置一个。

public static class DateTimeExtensions {

    public static DateTime Ago(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan delta) {

        return dateTime - delta;
    }
}

现在，您可以执行以下操作：

var date = DateTime.Now;
date.Ago(2.Days()); // 2 days ago
date.Ago(7.Hours()); // 7 hours ago
date.Ago(567.Milliseconds()); // 567 milliseconds ago

下面是我作为DateTime类的扩展方法添加的一个实现，它处理未来和过去的日期，并提供了一个近似选项，允许您指定要查找的详细程度（“3小时前”与“3小时、23分钟、12秒前”）：

using System.Text;

/// <summary>
/// Compares a supplied date to the current date and generates a friendly English 
/// comparison ("5 days ago", "5 days from now")
/// </summary>
/// <param name="date">The date to convert</param>
/// <param name="approximate">When off, calculate timespan down to the second.
/// When on, approximate to the largest round unit of time.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string ToRelativeDateString(this DateTime value, bool approximate)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    string suffix = (value > DateTime.Now) ? " from now" : " ago";

    TimeSpan timeSpan = new TimeSpan(Math.Abs(DateTime.Now.Subtract(value).Ticks));

    if (timeSpan.Days > 0)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat("{0} {1}", timeSpan.Days,
          (timeSpan.Days > 1) ? "days" : "day");
        if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
    }
    if (timeSpan.Hours > 0)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1} {2}", (sb.Length > 0) ? ", " : string.Empty,
          timeSpan.Hours, (timeSpan.Hours > 1) ? "hours" : "hour");
        if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
    }
    if (timeSpan.Minutes > 0)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1} {2}", (sb.Length > 0) ? ", " : string.Empty, 
          timeSpan.Minutes, (timeSpan.Minutes > 1) ? "minutes" : "minute");
        if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
    }
    if (timeSpan.Seconds > 0)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1} {2}", (sb.Length > 0) ? ", " : string.Empty, 
          timeSpan.Seconds, (timeSpan.Seconds > 1) ? "seconds" : "second");
        if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
    }
    if (sb.Length == 0) return "right now";

    sb.Append(suffix);
    return sb.ToString();
}

简单且100%的工作解决方案。

处理过去和将来的时间。。以防万一

        public string GetTimeSince(DateTime postDate)
    {
        string message = "";
        DateTime currentDate = DateTime.Now;
        TimeSpan timegap = currentDate - postDate;

     
        if (timegap.Days > 365)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("Ago") + " {0} " + L("Years"), (((timegap.Days) / 30) / 12));                
        }
        else if (timegap.Days > 30)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("Ago") + " {0} " + L("Months"), timegap.Days/30);                
        }
        else if (timegap.Days > 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("Ago") + " {0} " + L("Days"), timegap.Days);
        }           
        else if (timegap.Hours > 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("Ago") + " {0} " + L("Hours"), timegap.Hours);
        }           
        else if (timegap.Minutes > 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("Ago") + " {0} " + L("Minutes"), timegap.Minutes);
        }
        else if (timegap.Seconds > 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("Ago") + " {0} " + L("Seconds"), timegap.Seconds);
        }

        // let's handle future times..just in case       
        else if (timegap.Days < -365)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("In") + " {0} " + L("Years"), (((Math.Abs(timegap.Days)) / 30) / 12));                
        }
        else if (timegap.Days < -30)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("In") + " {0} " + L("Months"), ((Math.Abs(timegap.Days)) / 30));                
        }
        else if (timegap.Days < 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("In") + " {0} " + L("Days"), Math.Abs(timegap.Days));                
        }           
      
        else if (timegap.Hours < 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("In") + " {0} " + L("Hours"), Math.Abs(timegap.Hours));                
        }
        else if (timegap.Minutes < 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("In") + " {0} " + L("Minutes"), Math.Abs(timegap.Minutes));                
        }
        else if (timegap.Seconds < 0)
        {
            message = string.Format(L("In") + " {0} " + L("Seconds"), Math.Abs(timegap.Seconds));                
        }


        else
        {
            message = "a bit";
        }

        return message;
    }

这里是Jeffs Script for PHP的重写：

define("SECOND", 1);
define("MINUTE", 60 * SECOND);
define("HOUR", 60 * MINUTE);
define("DAY", 24 * HOUR);
define("MONTH", 30 * DAY);
function relativeTime($time)
{   
    $delta = time() - $time;

    if ($delta < 1 * MINUTE)
    {
        return $delta == 1 ? "one second ago" : $delta . " seconds ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 2 * MINUTE)
    {
      return "a minute ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 45 * MINUTE)
    {
        return floor($delta / MINUTE) . " minutes ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 90 * MINUTE)
    {
      return "an hour ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 24 * HOUR)
    {
      return floor($delta / HOUR) . " hours ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 48 * HOUR)
    {
      return "yesterday";
    }
    if ($delta < 30 * DAY)
    {
        return floor($delta / DAY) . " days ago";
    }
    if ($delta < 12 * MONTH)
    {
      $months = floor($delta / DAY / 30);
      return $months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : $months . " months ago";
    }
    else
    {
        $years = floor($delta / DAY / 365);
        return $years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : $years . " years ago";
    }
}    

Nuget上还有一个名为Humanizr的软件包，它实际上运行得很好，并且在.NET Foundation中。

DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-30).Humanize() => "yesterday"
DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-2).Humanize() => "2 hours ago"

DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(30).Humanize() => "tomorrow"
DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(2).Humanize() => "2 hours from now"

TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1299630020).Humanize() => "2 weeks"
TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1299630020).Humanize(3) => "2 weeks, 1 day, 1 hour"
