以某种方式，您可以使用DateTime函数以秒到年计算相对时间，请尝试以下操作：

using System;

public class Program {
    public static string getRelativeTime(DateTime past) {
        DateTime now = DateTime.Today;
        string rt = "";
        int time;
        string statement = "";
        if (past.Second >= now.Second) {
            if (past.Second - now.Second == 1) {
                rt = "second ago";
            }
            rt = "seconds ago";
            time = past.Second - now.Second;
            statement = "" + time;
            return (statement + rt);
        }
        if (past.Minute >= now.Minute) {
            if (past.Second - now.Second == 1) {
                rt = "second ago";
            } else {
                rt = "minutes ago";
            }
            time = past.Minute - now.Minute;
            statement = "" + time;
            return (statement + rt);
        }
        // This process will go on until years
    }
    public static void Main() {
        DateTime before = new DateTime(1995, 8, 24);
        string date = getRelativeTime(before);
        Console.WriteLine("Windows 95 was {0}.", date);
    }
}

不完全有效，但如果您对其进行一点修改和调试，它很可能会完成任务。

我也建议在客户端进行计算。服务器工作更少。

通过在客户端执行此逻辑，可以减少服务器端负载。在一些Digg页面上查看源代码以供参考。它们让服务器发出一个由Javascript处理的历元时间值。这样，您就不需要管理最终用户的时区。新的服务器端代码类似于：

public string GetRelativeTime(DateTime timeStamp)
{
    return string.Format("<script>printdate({0});</script>", timeStamp.ToFileTimeUtc());
}

您甚至可以在那里添加一个NOSCRIPT块，然后执行ToString（）。

我从比尔·盖茨的一个博客中得到了这个答案。我需要在我的浏览器历史记录中找到它，我会给你链接。

执行相同操作的Javascript代码（按要求）：

function posted(t) {
    var now = new Date();
    var diff = parseInt((now.getTime() - Date.parse(t)) / 1000);
    if (diff < 60) { return 'less than a minute ago'; }
    else if (diff < 120) { return 'about a minute ago'; }
    else if (diff < (2700)) { return (parseInt(diff / 60)).toString() + ' minutes ago'; }
    else if (diff < (5400)) { return 'about an hour ago'; }
    else if (diff < (86400)) { return 'about ' + (parseInt(diff / 3600)).toString() + ' hours ago'; }
    else if (diff < (172800)) { return '1 day ago'; } 
    else {return (parseInt(diff / 86400)).toString() + ' days ago'; }
}

基本上，你是以秒为单位工作的。

    const int SECOND = 1;
    const int MINUTE = 60 * SECOND;
    const int HOUR = 60 * MINUTE;
    const int DAY = 24 * HOUR;
    const int MONTH = 30 * DAY;

    var ts = new TimeSpan(DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks - yourDate.Ticks);
    double delta = Math.Abs(ts.TotalSeconds);

    if (delta < 1 * MINUTE)
        return ts.Seconds + " saniye önce";

    if (delta < 45 * MINUTE)
        return ts.Minutes + " dakika önce";

    if (delta < 24 * HOUR)

    if (delta < 48 * HOUR)
        return "dün";

    if (delta < 30 * DAY)
        return ts.Days + " gün önce";

    if (delta < 12 * MONTH)
    {
        int months = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((double)ts.Days / 30));
        return months + " ay önce";
    }
    else
    {
        int years = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((double)ts.Days / 365));

        return dict;
    }

    public static string ToRelativeDate(this DateTime input)
    {
        TimeSpan oSpan = DateTime.Now.Subtract(input);
        double TotalMinutes = oSpan.TotalMinutes;
        string Suffix = " ago";

        if (TotalMinutes < 0.0)
        {
            TotalMinutes = Math.Abs(TotalMinutes);
            Suffix = " from now";
        }

        if (null == sm_Dict)
            sm_Dict = DictionarySetup();

        return sm_Dict.First(n => TotalMinutes < n.Key).Value.Invoke(TotalMinutes) + Suffix;
    }
}

与此问题的另一个答案相同，但作为静态字典的扩展方法。
