What do you mean? If you compare time span of 2 days, 3 hours and 47 mintues to the the current date and time what answer would you like? It doesn't make any sense to me.
I mean i have also days in timespan value and i want to compare with currnent date time is a time span days , hour,mint and second greater than dateTime.now or less.
Can you give some examples of TimeSpans and DateTimes and how you want them to compare? For example, the example you gave in the original post, what DateTime is that equal to?

"A TimeSpan object represents a
time interval (duration of time or elapsed time) that is measured as a
positive or negative number of days, hours, minutes, seconds, and fractions of a second.
The TimeSpan structure can also be used to represent the time of day, but
only if the time is unrelated to a particular date.
Please help us help you by taking time to describe your problem better ... sorry, but what you are asking is quite unclear imho.
To compare apples to oranges, it is important to have some common property such as the weight of the apples versus the weight of the oranges.
Likewise, to compare a TimeSpan with DateTime.Now is just not logical.
mjaved39, you must compare a TimeSpan with another TimeSpan.

For checking for a time of day use:
TimeSpan start = new TimeSpan(10, 0, 0); //10 o'clock
TimeSpan end = new TimeSpan(12, 0, 0); //12 o'clock
TimeSpan now = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;
if ((now > start) && (now < end))
{
//match found
}
For absolute times use:
DateTime start = new DateTime(2009, 12, 9, 10, 0, 0)); //10 o'clock
DateTime end = new DateTime(2009, 12, 10, 12, 0, 0)); //12 o'clock
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
if ((now > start) && (now < end))
{
//match found
}

hi,
DateTime dtts;
TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(-2, 20, 09, 39, 4468381); // instead you can use your timespan variable directly
dtts = Convert.ToDateTime(ts.ToString());
int result = DateTime.Compare(dtts, DateTime.Now);
if (result < 1)
{
// timespan is earlier than todays datetime
}
else if (result == 0)
{
// timespan is equal to todays datetime
}
else if (result > 1)
{
// timespan is later than todays datetime
}

@ mjaved39
for me, what you are asking is not clear.
FWIW, a TimeSpan type is not a DateType type.
